Cycling near Wilmslow in Cheshire this morning and I heard an Oystercatcher flying over. What it was doing in the middle of Cheshire in June I've no idea. It's a long way from both the coast and their breeding sites

Oycs flight call is unmistakeable. An incredibly loud "peeeep" every few seconds

Saw this yesterday, but I have no clue what it is, any ideas?
I have to admit it has me scratching my head for a minute.
I'm pretty sure it's a juvenile Starling. The shape and bill is normal Starling but the plumage is somewhat weird, maybe an effect of the sunlight

Thanks, that’s interesting as we do have so juveniles, but I was confused about the tail, eyes, and longer neck than I thought for starling.

It doesn’t look the same, though that’s no doubt my ignorance 😀
