Blackbird, Song Thrush

As the cold weather continues opportunities to photograph the bird life arise that much more easily. The other day I went to put food on the bird table, which at the time was occupied by a Blackbird. It was only at the point when I started to tip some food onto the table that the Blackbird finally flew down to the ground, but even then remaining only a couple of feet away from me.

Although more shy, we have had Song Thrushes also coming up close to us waiting for food. And of course Freddie is still around, guarding his fruit!
