1378 		On behalf of Dorothy who sent in an email:-

The bird was black and slightly smaller than a blackbird with white on its head and an orange beak. 

I saw it at the NEC in Birmingham UK

Sorry no photo

44 		I wonder if this was a Starling, Dorothy.  I am sure you are familiar with them and they are black with a yellow beak and smaller than a Blackbird.  They do not have white on their heads but in bright sunlight their glossy feathers may appear white.  As you will know there can be quite a variation in their plumage in different lights but in sunshine they can be stunning.
