Dad's Duty (Turdus merula)

I haven't posted any photos of the Blackbirds in my garden recently so here is one taken last night. This male has been working tirelessly for weeks feeding two broods of youngsters and is starting to look a bit the worse for wear now. He's great bird though and usually flies onto the fence to see what's going on whenever I go into the garden. Ron

That's an excellent shot - love it!

I've yet to get a decent one of 'my' Blackbird... he doesn't seem to want to wait for me to get the camera out you see!

Ah well... I'll keep trying.

Adding your pic. to my favourites by the way - love it!

Neil.
