Blackbird

A lovely capture, Rosa it must feel very safe and comfortable with you.
Birds are all so busy at the moment, so are darned cats.

Thank you Roger. Thankfully I haven't seen a cat in the garden for a long time. We do get the occasional bird of prey hanging around though.

Superbe image de ce joli merle apprivoisé qui te parle !
Bonne journée. Amitiés

Thank you Madeleine. A very vocal blackbird ;-))
Have a great day. Regards.

Lovely bird image Rosa

Thank you very much Jaap.

Na und schon ist dir eine hübsche Amsel Model gestanden liebe Rosa,sehr schön ist deine Aufnahme mit den tollen Details der Amsel:))

Wünsche Dir noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you very much Günter. She didn't like the camera, so I was lucky to get this shot.

Have a good day. Best wishes, Rosa.

Vrouwtje

Yes a female Fred.

belle prise !! elle est pleine de vie

Thank you very much Dan.

Beautiful capture, wonderful colours and detail.

Thank you very much John.

Awww..............look at the expression on it's face!

A gorgeous blackbird and a superb photo Rosa - so sharp and detailed.

You are so lucky to have it visiting and coming so close to the house. I hope you rewarded it's efforts at begging and for posing so nicely for you.

I get a cross look if I'm not quick enough with the food Keith! This blackbird gets plenty of rewards and I think very soon the young ones will be brought to the door :-)
That's what happened last year!

Many thanks for your kind comments.

Trop mimi *****************bisous ma Rosa ! et bonne soirée

Thank you Angelique.
Bisous my friend & good evening.

A well composed wildlife shot, Rosa. I love the details in the plumage and the catchlights in the eye. Cheers, Joe

I didn't have much time to compose it Joe, as the bird is very camera shy.
I just hoped for the best! Thank you for your kind comments. Cheers, Rosa.

A lovely image it's trying very hard to entice you to provide some tasty titbits, I have a net in the Winter Jasmin but they haven't hatched yet, it's to far in to get a photo. There are a lot of male Blackbirds about I was going up the garden and heard a lot of squawking I thought a cat had got one but one had it's opponent pinned down it was trying to kill it. The clouds have arrived after a sunny afternoon, I hope you are having a nice evening Rosalyn

Well it worked Peter ;-)) There are also two blue tits nesting in another part of the garden, but they never come for food. I can hear them twittering as I pass the nest boxes.
The clouds have also arrived here and it's raining now, but a better day forecast tomorrow, so it's a day out for me...they had better be right!
Have a nice evening Peter.

Well caught Rosa

Thank you Nick.
Happy Thursday.

Beautiful Image Rosa
Best TOZ

Thank you TOZ.
Regards, Rosa.

Hi Rosa
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful composition, especially the expression of her beak!
It is so nice to see that she sees you as a friend!
And I think you have a robin too,, You must have an exciting garden.
Best Wishes, HWW, a nice week, and stay safe!!
Peter

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your lovely comments.
She is outside the patio door now demanding food ;-)
I think soon we will see the young ones, the same as last year.
Take care and have a good day,
Rosa.

Es un mirlo hembra, los machos son totalmente negro azabache. Te pide comida para darle a sus polluelos. Son listos y se comunican con los humanos. Los machos es una suerte tenerlos cerca para escuchar su canto. Metiste bien el zoom, Rosa.

Not so much begging, more demanding ;-)) She works very hard in the garden finding worms and grubs. Hopefully we will soon see the young chicks.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Good day Jose Manuel.

You are lucky, Rosa, if I may say. A beautiful bird. And a perfect portrait-- I have never succeeded in getting good pictures of black animals/

Thank you Rashid. It took a while to get this picture. I know what you mean about black animals. The male blackbird does not photograph so well. Have a good day.

HANDSOME LAD

I love to watch them in the garden Pam. We have lots and lots of sparrows at the moment. I can hear them twittering in the hedges ;-)

Touching story to go with this wonderful blackbird portrait, Rosalyn! :)

Thank you very much * ઇઉ *

Wonderful shot !
You are lucky, mine is almost this beautiful but far more hesitant.
He does not yet know that the dog is too clever to try to run after him.
E likes to shower when the lemon tree receives water and if I am nearby he keeps slow and consederate...

Thank you very much Jose. I love lemon trees! :-))
Blackbirds and robins seem the friendliest birds.

Ooooooh quelle beaute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Michelle.

Quelle proximité !!!
Joli profil et expression un peu méfiante..
Très belle, Rosalyn

This pretty bird visits every day and reminds us to help feed the fledglings.

Thank you very much Judite.

Nur Deine Überschrift und mir fallen die Beatles ein ... :-))

Yes I do too Lothar :-))

Indeed, a great opportunity for a lovely portrait, Rosa. I like the peck on the tile showing the familiarity of this ever-charming passerine (not to mention its song, isn't it?!)

Thank you very much Eric. The blackbirds song is one of the most beautiful. To hear it when sat in the garden is a simple yet wonderful pleasure :-)

Perfectly caught Rosa! Spot on sharp with the eye as the focal point, really nicely done.

Enjoy your day, Doug

Thank you very much Doug. I was delighted to get this shot. I've been trying for ages :-)

Happy Monday! Regards,
Rosa.

Very well captured ! A strong and fine contrast between the dark plumage and the grey background.
Warm greetings
