I'm taking a break from publishing seed choices just so you don't get too bored - more to come on that subject soon.
Meanwhile I thought I'd give you an easy read and share a couple of photos of a male blackbird. I'm trying to get some photos of birds in our trees and bushes rather than on bird tables and feeders. It isn't as easy as they tend to flit around a bit more but here are a couple that I like of a male blackbird posing 'au naturel'.

Nice shots - I am rubbish at birds.
ReplyDeleteThe birds have to co-operate, Janet
DeleteHave you got any photos of Jays? I saw one this afternoon and it reminded me how difficult they are to photograph. They are so nervous that they never seem to relax, and they fly so fast.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we don't get Jays in the garden, mark and I see them very rarely and then only fleetingly. They are on my photograph wanted list!
DeleteThere seems to be oodles of blackbirds by me at the moment. I think they are enjoying the apples & pears I put out for them.
ReplyDeleteThere are loads at the moment, Jo. Sometimes they spend more time chasing one another away rather than tucking in.
DeleteThey're fabulous photos. I've got quite a few blackbirds flitting about the garden at the moment, and had another coal tit here today.
ReplyDeleteA pair of coal tits visit our garden, Jo but as yet I haven't managed a photo
DeleteHi Sue, Love the blackbirds! Birds are so tricky to photograph. Well done! Cheers, Jenni
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenni
DeleteThere are seven blackbirds at this very moment chasing each other off the apples I have put down. My camera isn't good enough to take close up shots of them but I enjoy watching their antics.
ReplyDeleteWe are counting similar numbers at one time too and sometimes all are make, Elaine.
DeleteThey zoom around the garden so much that at time when we are outside we are in danger of having our head taken off by one.
Great photos. There does seem to be a lot of blackbirds about this year!
ReplyDeleteThere does seem to be more than usual, Patricia
Deletethe bird look so cute. It is same like crow? we have many here....
ReplyDeleteIt's much smaller than a crow Malar and it is a songbird. It has a lovely song. I doesn't eat carrion as a crow does. The female is brown with a brownish beak.
