Blackie snacking on holly berries.

Finally the blackbirds are back in their cluster! Good to see them back snacking on the berries around the garden at last.

Well caught on camera Kate . . . that's a cracking shot!

Yes, a fabulous pic Kate! You caught her just right..:))
I have a male blackbird that comes right up to my kitchen door, who's very territorial, he won't even allow a female one anywhere near...

Thanks Paul! I don’t always have the patience!
Thank you, Shirley! Much appreciated :-)
Thank you, Janey, she did arrive while I was waiting, good timing for once! I’m envious of your little visitor. I do love to see the males with their yellow beaks.
The only time I find them getting closer to me or the house is when they are feeding young!!!

Aw thanks Sheila! I’ve spotted several out there today with some tits and a little robin. However, it’s freezing out there! I’ll just admire them from inside in the warmth and hope it gets a bit milder soon...then, back out clicking the camera ☺️

Great minds, Rose! Happy New Year to you and your family too! Best wishes for the coming months x

Aw thanks Lesley, I’m just pleased they all now seem to remember where I live! I hope things change and you see some more birds in your garden soon. ;-)

Well caught photo Kate. Sometimes you can focus in on the bird and by the time you press the button to take the photo they're gone......
