'pied' blackbird.

spotted this blackbird whilst out with my dog this morning.
have you ever tried taking a photo one handed, whilst being tugged by a dog on her lead???... not easy i can tell you!!!
as you can see the bird is lacking colouration to his head/neck.

P.S. You should have popped the littl e dog in your pocket
