Actually I think that's a juvenile you have there Alan.... you can still see the yellow gape.

That's a super picture you've taken of this blackie, in a pretty summery setting too - very well done lad.

Beautiful picture of this lovely Blackbird lady on the fence. Excellent lighting showing fabulous colors and detail with wonderful composition. Top-marks Alan!

I think you are right Delia, it is a juvenile bird. Thank you for the correction.

Alan.
