It took me a while to be convinced because all my books show black not grey.

Most birds don't present themselves by name to me and then I have a hard time finding them in the book anyway. I'm not a great bird-watcher... The one in your pictures I would certainly never have identified. (looking it up now, in my book it's greyish-black on the back and the head is dark brown)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-38770530666317699112009-09-15T18:48:54.137+01:002009-09-15T18:48:54.137+01:00Oh my gosh!
