Mr. Blackbird in the Park by ladymagpie

Mr. Blackbird in the Park

We all love a stroll in the park, whether it's walking the dog, playing football with the kids or having a picnic. For me it's watching the birds and I saw Mr. Blackbird looking for grubs or worms to take back to the family nest. As I watched he was Pecking here and there before flying away and then soon returning again for more.

I do a very similar thing in the supermarket flitting from shelf to shelf or diving down in the freezer cabinets. Once I've filled my basket I fly home with the goodies but find the need to return another day. So there you go, this Magpie and the park blackbird do almost the same thing, we both need food to exist, I just over do it a bit.

Thank you all so much for your comments and FAV's. I'm posting early due to the football on TV later, Wales v N.Ireland. If you have time then view with the dark surround.
Lovely capture Heather. I struggle with photographing birds they are usually so quick
