More garden birds

A couple of shots from the garden - a better Bullfinch (although probably the same bird) and Collared Doves.

Smart.

Mundane.

Also something that I wasn't sure of. The generally black plumage, brown-reddish legs and slightly decurved yellow-orange bill seemed distinctive enough. Luckily I got a shot showing it in it's preferred habitat and this was the clincher as confirmed by the BB Club down the road.

Leicestershire's first Alpine Chough.
