Default rare bird
this blackwhitebird has recently started visiting my garden, quite unique it must be , taken a while to get a photo, it always fly's away when i pick up the camera as if it knows
think the cold and the nice food left out for it were to much to resist today

Looks like a Blackbird that's partly albino! Either that or you dipped it's head in Dulux Some twitcher will probably tell you what it is.

Definitely a blackbird. Ours get quite a few white feathers when they're in moult, but I've never seen one like this.

It could be paint job as their is no reason why birds can`t have bodywork shops as well as us, i think it looks smart. Maybe some wing tip graphics would set it off a lot better.
