We have 2 blackbirds nests in our garden and the nest in the conifer tree outside the conservatory is the second brood that these hard working little birds have brought into the world. The magpie decided to pay a visit because he thought he could steal a few babies for his tea. Wrong - both Mum and Dad flew round and shouted joined in by the pair from round the corner who are nesting in the ivy. I took loads of shots and although this one is not necessarily the best focus, I liked the expression on his face with his beak open as he was shouting at the magpie. Mrs Blackbird is featured in my album "Even More" as she gets back to normal looking for food to feed her young. By the way, this complies with my black theme this week.
