Great, I have the same here, been a bit of a worry with next doors cats but I have had a pair just the same as this and I think they are away fending for themselves now.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to HappySnapper

Thankfully I don't have that problem with cats Maurice. This one is as big as the parents but still follows them around for food!

tiabunna ^club

Lovely images, Rosa. Isn't it interesting how the plumage of some birds totally changes as they mature.

4 years ago.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

Thank you George. Yes it is interesting how their plumage changes. I think the couple of blackbirds have successfully reared 3 offspring!

Herb Riddle ^club

A very nice family album shot here Rosa. I think that I might have mistakenly thought one of these was a young thrush when i have seen similar in our garden, as we have thrushes too. A great capture of these two. Well done.

Keep safe. Herb

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Herb Riddle ^club

Keith Burton ^club

Ooooh, what a gorgeous shot Rosa..............you've captured that lovely young blackbird perfectly. You're very lucky to have it in the garden.

I spotted a fledgling starling sunning itself under a shrub in Southsea this morning, I was taking a photo of it when I was mobbed by one the parents and had to retreat..!!

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

I found out a moment ago that there are two fledglings Keith. They were outside my patio door with mum and dad frantically feeding them! I'm hoping I've got a few decent shots. I'll look in the morning.

Oh my goodness! They were very protective then. Thank you for your kind comments on this picture.
