    I thought it was a female blackbird, but now I'm not sure and it might be a starling?

    (Will be posting this up as my picture for today on another forum, and don't like to admit that I haven't a clue what it is! :lol: )

    Thank you :)

    I stopped thinking it was a blackbird because she has not got a yellow beak. Makes a change for me to be right about anything at all, really! :lol:

    Its a female Blackbird Stella. Only the male blackbird has a yellow beak.
    Also thrushes have a lighter chest.
