A very quick shot taken out of Rosie's kitchen window.

For Flash of Red February - best on black!!

Many thanks for your great comments and Favs on my shots. Lovely to see the Mandarin duck on the PP this morning!!

@rosiekind another shot from yesterday. Such a shame I clipped her tail.

Great closeup

Nice pic

[Rosie Kind]

Great shot and processing - Fav It's funny because it looks like a thrush in monochrome but the females do have speckled breasts albeit brown before processing

[Pam Knowler]

@rosiekind Yes I thought that Rosie but it was definitely a female blackbird wasn't it?

A lovely capture. Fav!! 😀

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Lovely shot. Fav

[Taffy]

Perfect b&w treatment. Wonderful textures in its feathers.

Great shot Pam, very flattering to the bird too. Would you like to have the pair that insist on nesting in our back garden? I've had to put gutter-guard mesh down in some beds to stop them scratching things out of the ground.

Great detail

super shot, lovely detail

Beautiful photo, but I'd never have guessed this was a blackbird! She's lovely, and I suppose wouldn't have looked a great deal different in colour! I'm SO pleased you and Rosie had such a good day together.
