I spotted this blackbird in the garden (see photo, bottom). It is not black but light grey, and it did not have pink eyes so I guess it is not an albino. It spread its wings and lay in the sun; in due course it flew off. I鈥檝e never seen a blackbird with this colouring before. Can anyone tell me more about it?
