Can anyone tell me what this bird is?
(Preview)
Sorry about the quality of the photos. This bird has appeared recently in the garden and I have no idea what it is. It looks sort of round and young and a bit confused so I wondered if it was a young thrush?? It's definitely NOT a robin even though it looks quite orangey from a distance. Kathy
