I struggled trying to identify these birds which I saw this afternoon on the lovely grounds of The Vyne outside of Baskingstoke in Hampshire. The yellow face on the one was throwing me off completely. After hours of deliberating, I finally found a forum on the RSPB website that confirmed its identity (thankfully).
