[quote=oscar;1206229]I have just had a bird on my bird table that i have never seen before so here we go again.
Due to painting this time, my books are not ready to hand so has anyone got any idea's.

It was larger than a blackbird.
It had what seemed to be a large 'puffed' chest.
The breast and head was a deep golden brown colour.
The wings and eyes were black.

I wondered if it could be a 'Mistle Thrush' chick but it was far too large to be a chick.

Any idea's folks?[/QUOT

I was eitheer Nomad, Jimbo or Spot.

Any chance it was a Golden Oriole (Oriolus oliorus)?

A photo would help with these questions..........
