blackbird female

A female blackbird facing the sun yesterday.

Widespread and numerous

Taken the other day in the woods (feels fresh this morning had rain during the night)

Back again this morning for a quick berry snack. I shall catch up during the day.

Checking out the new surroundings after a spot of tree pruning.

just happy to sit on top of the garden clothes post for a couple of shots before it went away

I forgot that I took this last week. I noticed a blackberry disappear, but didn't see where it went. A few minutes later I saw the culprit. Through the window as usual

Not really a fast enough shutter speed for a Blackbird, as they can be worse that Tits for fidgeting about, but I think this is the first that I've caught with a worm in it's bill. Through the window as usual.

I like this, but I'd like it a lot more if I didn't mess it up. I had plenty of light, and I had time to press the shutter, but either 1/200th second shutter was too slow, or I focused on a leaf instead of the bird. Anyway, I like to upload ones that didn't quite come off, to remind me next...

Same bird, still through the window, different pose and light.

I've not uploaded any Blackbird pics for ages, so I took advantage of the Sun being out for a change. Taken through the window as usual.

This female looked real good on top this perch, had to get a shot of it. ROD.

I have a soft spot for the subtle beauty of female Blackbirds :) http://www.tomcharles-photography.co.uk/birdgallery.htm

I took advantage of the nice day with low temperature and shiny sun. There were many birds in the bushes arround. This female was at a reasonable height and the perches behind were making a fine background. Moreover the bird was in a fine pose showing good details of the body. I decided to tale...

Female Blackbird

As common as these are, I've struggled to get a good shot of one. However, with the back ground hue, I like this one.
