Juveniles are the same size as the adults when they fledge but I think is was most likely a female. |

It was a long time ago (ago twenty years plus). If my memory serves me well, it didn't look a small bird, and my friends said it was a frequent visitor to their garden. |

Island. It was a few years ago, It certainly wasn't a juvenile, not sure about male/female. We did discuss it a great length and my husband took a photograph of it. |

We had a blackbird with a white head a few years ago, also one with white tail feathers which might have been his offspring? |

I once saw a brown Blackbird when I was on holiday in Guernsey, our friends said it was a regular visitor to their garden. |

My first thought was that the other birds would have attacked it, but not in this case. The people in the restaurant were all fascinated - apart from the "twitcher", and he was getting frustrated! :-) :-) |

OH is away sailing, as usual, and was having a meal in a restaurant on the West Coast of Scotland, when he noticed another diner with one of those huge cameras you see in wildlife programmes. |
