canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | May 11, 2008 07:33 | #2 Sweet shot and a cool looking bird. Not familiar with your Brit birds, but I'm betting it's related to a crow. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Good question, there is unsubstantiated reports of Boat -tailed Grackles for the U.K. Here is my shot: It sure looks like that bird.

The similarities are striking, but there is one very obvious difference - the eye. Outdoor photographer and writer in Northern Ireland

In fact it looks like it was stuffed years ago and taken from its cabinet for the shot. I am sure I am wrong, but until malla comes back and tells us where he shot it, it will remain a mystery to me.
