Enough of these great big raptor shots, here's my resident blackbird, his mate is sitting on a nest in the clematis by my kitchen window and he keeps a very watchful eye over the vicinity. Thought he looked rather fine against the apple blossom.

Very handsome fellow. Our very tame lady yesterday before the snow. I don't think her chicks got a look in on the blueberry
