Mr Blackbird

All the birds seemed perplexed by the snow this morning so I gave them extra food and feed them twice a day now the weather is so cold. We only had about an inch of snow overnight and it's beginning to thaw so it's dripping from the trees. However, it did look pretty as I sat eating my breakfast. For some reason the birds seemed worried about perching on the sundial and other places to eat their breakfast. They kept flapping their wings especially the starlings who aren't usually frightened of anything. I've even had a house sparrow on the bird table so it's nice to know that they are coming too. The little coal tit has been eating the nuts but the great tit shoos him away!

Thanks for all your kind comments and Favs - it is always much appreciated.
Fav - lovely shot with good dof!

How have we not been following each other. Thanks. I think I get mixed up. I follow a couple of Rosie's.

That expression could be interpreted as a confused one. What is this white stuff and why is it so cold?? I like all the lines and textures of the background as well as the handsome black bird with the striking beak and eye color.

Now I love seeing a blackbird in a photo - its not easy being so black all over but positioned nicely on this curving branch is so good!

@rosiekind I should've written it "What is the white stuff...." with quote marks so it would appear the bird was thinking those words.

Great shot of the blackbird enjoying a snack - I love how the curve of the branch frames the pic. I'm glad you look out for the feathered visitors :)
