Black and Orange (Turdus merula)

The male Blackbirds near me are being very attentive at the moment, with youngsters to protect. This one was flying between the roof tops and fences last night, keeping watch. The other evening I was joined in the kitchen by a young Blackbird hopping round the floor, so it looks as if he has a full time job. The orange background is my neighbour's rather lurid fence panels. Ron
