    If it's bigger than a starling- then I'd suggest a Thrush

    On an aside, google has a new button in google photos app on your phone. Its the button 3rd from right on the bottom, hit it and it attempts to identify what's in the pic. Works quite well, can be used for flowers as well.

    That's great i used it on my marine tank and identified a coral I didn't know the name of.
    Also you lot were way off with you bird guesses, see attached photo for proper identification
    P. S it's the third button from left.

    My African grey, I inherited, sadly caged most of the time due to her wondering nature and ability to wreck carpets etc.
    Gorgeous bird and showing her amazing g intelligence by using her molten feather as a tool to scratch herself for pleasure. Tried to get a pic without the bars but she dropped it. She sits their for ages scratching her neck with the pointy bit of the feather. Amazing these beautiful creatures exist in the wild it really is.

    Ha I would sadly she can't fly anymore, she's 20 years old. I always picture her in her natural habitat and it makes me sad. They really aren't demesticated and don't deserve to be in captivity.

    I've a feeling that bird is well used to tourists at this stage as there were far more tourists than myself taking photos of him with their phones coming within a foot or two of him at most.
    Central Park is great for seeing a whole manner of different bird species but I had to laugh, just outside one of the terminals at JFK the very first bird I saw was a starling.

    I confine myself to a pretty limited stretch of the Dodder - in
    the hope that familiarity will breed knowledge

    - Downside- I hadn't seen a kingfisher since October last

    But good news today - a pair appeared and stayed for a bit today

    Water levels were up by 5 feet in some sections of Dodder last night- so maybe they got disturbed?
