Got 2 Crows in Foxhill, one with a half white tail and one with white wingbars. Better check your books, White winged Starling may be a mega blown in from the far east on its way to winter on Soil Hill.!!!
This Spring had similar moment with a robin at Flamborough in the deep under growth it had chosen to sit behind a bluebell. Its amazing how a quick scan can grind to a halt jump into reverse all whilst not breathing or your heart beating and all followed by a big SIGH!! lol
