Male blackbird taking advantage of a sunny spell in late June 2021. He was there for quite some time.
We've nicknamed this one "Brighteyes" as the orange rings around his eyes are particularly clear.
Also, he's not too scared of us, so I may be getting a few more images to share.

You may be right !
