Mystery bird


And now to put you all out of your misery! The bird in the hand trapped on the day following the previous photo.



Andy Huyton is correct and Dish Fish - well done. The bird is actually a leucistic Stonechat. An odd looking bird and a bit of fun to identify from a photo when there is no scale.

Many thanks to David Crawshaw for sending us this 'poser' and keeping us all on our toes! There is always something new to learn.
