I am prob. putting this question in the wrong place but in my sleep deprived state I cant think where else to place it.
I have seen a little bird, twice, but never when I have a camera and no one seems to know what it is. It looks like a robin for size and movement but the breast is russet brown, head is black or dark brown, it has a thin collar of bright white, back darkish brown and wings mid brown.
It looked like a robin in disguise to me and no I am not mad, just tired Wink
