A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Monticola solitarius
These birds are residents and partial migrants but not normally seen in this area so I was privileged to see this migrant female in the garden taking a bee from a flower.
At first glance this looked like a female Blackbird but it was too small, smaller even than a Starling. The horizontal stripes on the belly and vent give away its true identity.
