i saw this bird in the Chilterns this afternoon...

it looks a bit like a starling but its flight resembled a small bird of prey

what do you think ?

Hi Charles, picture of a mature Mistle Thrush hoping you will enjoy birding, fledglings were referred to by my father as squabs , juvenile Pigeons were also referred to as squabs in Somerset.
