Surely there was a recent Birdwatching thread but search doesn't find it. I had a 'blackbird' I wanted to ask about. Build of a blackbird and habit of turning over leaves, wouldn't fly up to the birdtable but pecked on the ground (like a dunnock). What I can't find is it's 'cape' a splendid rusty brown head and shouders then rest of the bird is black. I thought maybe a young Mrs. Blackbird but can't find online or in books. Here several days NE UK, July 2021. Any ideas please?
