Scruffy youngster
Equally, this young Blackbird doesn't seem too impressed with the wet weather.

How scruffy they look at this plumage stage, just losing the last of their juvenile feathers around the head and neck.

Scruffy just makes you love them more. The honorable thing about animals they never complain. They are warriors. Sweet portrait, Delia. Hope some sunshine is shinning for you today and you keep taking pictures.
