CommentA very pale and interestingly plumaged Blackbird. The pale colouration & streaking on the breast indicates the bird may be an immature, but the food in its bill suggests it is feeding its own young. An adult male was nearby, but not showing any interest and we did not find a nest or any fledged young. It was something of a mystery and may have been greyer than normal due simply to a pigment deficiency.
