Black on grey
I'm pretty sure this was the first male Blackbird I'd seen in the garden this year, and here were were right at the end of January!

The female showed much earlier in the month.

His bill isn't nearly so 'yellow' as it is later on in the spring, is it.

I think its bill looks quite yellow in this lovely image D. I'll have to compare with ones down the way.

A great closeup captured TTW girl.
