Seen an odd bird in your garden?

HAVE you seen an oddly-coloured bird in your garden, park or woodland? If so, bird researchers want to know about it.

The British Trust for Ornithology is running its Abnormal Plumage Survey to record occurrences of unusual birds across the country.

If you have any sightings, visit http://www.bto.org/volunteer-surveys/gbw/about/background/projects/plumage and follow the recording instructions.

If you have photographs of unusually-coloured birds, they can be emailed to the Garden Ecology Team at [email protected] or add them to http://www.flickr.com/groups/bto_gbw/
