Looking for Lunch!
This Blackbird was watching me plant some pansies, from a distance! Once I had finished and gone indoors, he swooped in and had a rather good feast from the turned earth!

Nice catch there Rosalyn, I too have seen this close behaviour in our garden. Blackbirds breeding season starts rather early in March, their maternal/parental instinct is quiet strong and they quiet fearlessly follow you around when looking for food to take to the nest, did you notice the female nearby? she won't be as bold.

Thank you Maurice. I think they have nested in one of the hedges, but I haven't seen the female for a while. I hope to see the offspring sometime though.

I love the look of concentration on the blackbird's face, Rosa. I hope he didn't eat your pansies. LOL. Cheers, Joe

That thought did occur to me Joe, but he was very good and just took the more nourishing worms! LOL! Cheers, Rosa.

They don't miss a trick these blackbirds! Fine shot Rosa, the bird stands out so well against the lovely strong and vibrant colours of the flowers.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
They certainly don't Doug. The blackbird treats our garden as his own and chases away any bird his size!! Quite amusing to watch! Take care, Rosa.
