    or should I say what is this bird ??? I spotted him in the garden the other evening. I've never seen him before, he looks like a robin, but without the red breast . Maybe a young robin ??

    Looks like a juvenile robin on the verge of adulthood to me.

    I'm fairly sure its juvinile wheatear. Young robins are completly brown with beige specs and moult straight into adult colouring. No stage in between.

    Excellent shot aswell, these are fairly shy birds

    +1 on wheatear. A female, but not this years crop - too soon I would say and I don't notice black centres on juvenile wing feathers my book talks about. These guys migrate here from Africa. They have a startling bright white patch on their rump. Elegant birds.
