Fidgety 8 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I recon blackbird ..... difficult, not much to scale it against. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,415 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's not an albino but looking at the first couple of pictures I have to agree with Fidgety but looking at the other pics I'm not so sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Well, now its a hard one. EVERYTHING screams albino robin to me. The only thing that has me thinking is the colour of the bill. Now, is this a feature of albinism? the yellow bill has pigmentation. Thats why it looks like a blacky, but i can tell you now i dont think it is, due mainly to the eye. I know it looks a little like a dunnock too, but the bill just doesnt sit right, and, come on, they are very secretive birds too. My guess is a robin, but i stand to be corrected. Superb shot either way! I would have liked to have been there to hear its "song|" if, indeed, it did have a song.....JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lenny 0 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Taken in Scotland, any ideas? Albino Sparrow maybe? Are these pics of the same bird. I think some are of robin and some are of a blackbird or thursh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fidgety 8 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I agree, the bill looks completely different to the one on the windowsill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
