New to the forum so hello to everyone. Spotted a odd looking bird on one of our feeders today. About the size of a starling but the beak was very long, much more than a starlings. It was very much like a juvenile chough! But surely these birds are pretty much only found on the coast?

Any suggestions? apart from my needing stronger specs perhaps!

Colour, beak colour? Unless I'm mistaken, the Chough, juvenile or not would be somewhat larger than a starling. It could be a starling variant, people keep starlings and breed for their variety. They come in numerous colours from brown to black, grey, white etc.
