Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 O M F G!!!!! The Pied! I have an inherrant weakness for 'Piebald' things. But That just does my head in! FFS! It's f*cking Gorgeous! Having an aviery has been one of the life long ambitions I've just never got round to fulfilling. If maybe I ever do have one; I don't think it'd ever be quite complete now, without a Piebald Starling in it! F*CK! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zek 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Seen this oystercatcher a couple of weeks ago. Not a starling, nor captive bred but slightly unusual none the less; Btw, it seems you can buy them captive bred - seen some in C&A recently! Zek. I forgot to say - I really love those starlings! Any more photos of British colour variants? Zek. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zek 0 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 !st - Goldfinches 2nd - Blackbird? 3rd - Robin 4th - Blackbird Is the second a Backbird? Thanks for sharing those - awesome! I remember a certain townland in Co Tyrone that always had 1 or 2 pied blackbirds - they were beautiful. It seemed to be in the breeding. It seems they can moult out different some years. thanks, Zek. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OldTrapCollector 377 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Those goldfinches reminded me of some pure bred Red Legged Partridges I used to have - they were leucistic and looked like bleached out plumage, a sort of pinky gold colour. I have some old photos somewhere - I will see if I can find them out. OTC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
