    Well it's either a rare abnormality, or it has delved into something yellow, the latter seems more likely by the photos. Blackcap

    That is what I am tryingto find out. I have seen a photo of a male the same as mine as I said.
    I don't want to upload a photo that could be a rarity at the moment.

    Yes, that's why I suggested him having been delving in flowers see http://www.thamesvalleybirds.co.uk/b...y-mahonia.html , the Blue tits in my garden also feed on the flowers, although I've never seen them with any pollen colouring.

    I don't have a garden so pollen wouldn't have entered my head unless suggested. Once it was suggested and that these little bird particularly like Mahonia . I would have realized straight away . I have never associated birds with pollen you see
    Thanks any how
