Young Blackbirds

Thank you so much for your kind comments Bea. I was absolutely delighted to get these pictures, after trying for days. I think they may have flown the nest now as only daddy blackbird came to feed this morning! Take care and have a good weekend.
Best wishes, Rosa.

Aren't they just ;-))

Hi Rosa,

I am very impressed by the pics you got here!!!
A few years ago I had a blackbirds nest in the bush just outside my living room window. After setting up the camera on a tripod, and photographing them one by one as they left the nest for their first flight, my results were nowhere near as nice as what you have got. (Although having see these, I am tempted to revisit and see if I can reprocess them better..)

Best Wishes and keep safe
Peter

Hi Peter,
Yes I would revisit your pictures. I almost gave up getting some nice shots of them, then one evening, there they were and although it was through double glazing, at an angle, which doesn't help, I was quite pleased and think it's the best I can do. They are starting to lose their beautiful markings now, but they still run around after the adults!

Thank you for your kind comments. Take care,
Rosa.
