This bird was munching on fat balls when I looked in my garden this afternoon. I got several photos and it even seemed to pose for me. I got really close to it and it didn't seen bothered by my presence. I think it could be a black headed weaver but it is well out of range! Can anyone ID it?
It's certainly colourfull! No idea what it is though-I can't find it in any of my books. It might be worth asking your neighbours if they've lost their pet bird.

It's certainly an escape. Doesn't look like the black-headed weaver shown on Google!
