    Take Off

    Back a few days for this one. Shortly after taking the picture of the Kite, I found a Blackbird sitting on a garden hedge. This was the only picture and he took off just as I clicked! It's just not fair LOL Saturday fun

  4. Good balance needed

    Good balance needed

    When going to our different feeding stations I like to spread the food around quite a bit, so as well as the actual feeders, we put some on fence post, and connecting rails, on any flat bits on the gates and also scattered on the ground around and the road (no traffic). The male Blackbird this...

    The chase

    I'd been chasing this Blackbird all over the feeding area without any luck. Then he flew down onto the road behind the gate. This is taken through the windscreen, and between the bars of the gate. So sorry about the poor focusing job. TTTW

    Blackbirds

    Dear kits, I liked your recent bb male picture so much that I asked my mum to send me her phone pics of "our" blackbirds. They enter the kitchen or even our living room when they do not find raisins on the terrace. My message is , "Do not mess with blackbirds." 😉

    We don't seem to travel too far at this time of year, so this is a Eurasian Blackbird spotted in a tree before coming down to feed. Checking out the opposition perhaps LOL

    Confrontation - Long-tailed Tit & Blackbird

    I didn't see the Blackbird in the shot when I was taking this picture but she certainly adds a lot to the image! Not sure what the poor Long-tailed Tit did to attract such criticism but it didn't back off.

    Eurasian Blackbird

    Introduced from 1862, Blackbirds are abundant throughout New Zealand. This is the last photo of introduced birds, we also saw Dunnocks, Goldfinches and Skylarks, but I was disappointed not to get the Cirl Bunting.

    Was anyone watching? The Eurasian Blackbird again, this time after he'd completed his high jump exploit, and obviously acknowledging the applause.

    Ready for take-off

    The houses which front onto the canal on the opposite side to the towpath have private boat mooring privileges. This one has a series of breeze block ledges and is covered with a variety of old road (mostly) signs. There was a ledge just above this Eurasian Blackbird and rather than 'fly up'...

    Eurasian Blackbird (juvenile)

    Taken at the care home in the aftermath of a downpour, in front of rainwater cascading into a drain. The first Blackbird I've seen this year, believe it or not. When still at the flat I heard them, but they wouldn’t show. Thank you for your comments, and good birding! John

    Down at the Craighall feeders for a change, a Eurasian Blackbird decided he liked the food we'd put on a gate post. But was wondering how on earth that peanut was levitating just under his bill. Saturday Fun
