Our blackies.







(click to enlarge)

We put out a plate of sultanas on a regular basis and are rewarded by visits from several blackbirds including what appears to be a pair. The female is quite tame and will feed from the hand whereas the male which is ringed is less brave. He has however found his way into our conservatory last summer and got into quite a panic before being shown the door!

Took a few years to build up the list though most of the birds have been seen within the past year, after seeing your photos I really must invest in a dslr. I am using a Canon Powershot S50 which is not much good for distance shots in poor light and without having to drastically crop the photos.
