I've got a juvenile Blackbird that has started visiting my garden recently (must like the sultanas I'm leaving her). Today I was putting out my washing and she landed not 4ft from me, and carried on feeding...not bothered by my presence at all. Anyway, I crouched down to get a better look at her, at which point she stopped and looked my way. She then puffed herself right up (reminded me of a balloon) then stretched out her wings and lay forward on the ground. It was most bizarre. After about a minute she got up, 'deflated' back to normal size and carried on feeding. Anyone know what she was doing....it's the first time I've seen anything like this.
