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

I can only describe its call as 2 notes only, up down, up down, up down. That's it. I've listed on the RSPB website to every bird I have seen in the garden,...
