Meet Scruffy.

I want you to meet Scruffy the blackbird, not the prettiest of birds as his name suggests, a bit like a teenager that needs tidying up.

Scruffy came into my Sisters conservatory several times a day to get fed and if the door was shut he just stood against the glass looking in. He is stood here on the conservatory step deciding whether he had eaten enough.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.

Scruffy's striking a great pose!

[virtualbrownie]

He does look a bit weather beaten but it's a great capture

[Lin]

A wonderful capture - the details are great!

[Phil Cameron]

may be a pensioner so carful how you label him :-)

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@genealogygenie @virtualbrownie @linnypinny @philcameron59 Thank you for your comments, and Phil you could be right, I'm a very scruffy pensioner.

[Gayanne Campbell]

Oh come on now, "Scruffy" looks delightful. His look is what is endearing about him. Fabulous capture and wonderful detail to your little friend.

[Claire]

Goodness he. Sounds very tame

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@zenna @claireuk Thank you both, I'll give scruffy your regards. Claire when he comes in he does hang around, just grabs some food and off.

[David]

nice one

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@killeen Thank you David, not to your high standard.

[Susan Golding]

A lovely picture, superb pose!

[Sue Hecker]

It is like he is posing for you, maybe in payment for his supper. Nice shot.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@windridge @featherstone Thank you both, I'm sure Scruffy was happy to pose.

[Kathie]

Scruffy may be scruffy but he's not stupid. Nice shot.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@kathiecb Thanks Kathie, your right there, he knows where his breads buttered.

[Glenn Mostert]

Lovely shot and story , lady Heather!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@gmost Thanks Glenn, We all love Scruffy really.

[Connie]

I actually like the look of Mr. Scruffy. He is quite handsome!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@connie865 Thanks Connie, I thought he needed fluffing up a bit.

[Mickey Anderson]

I think Scruffy is quite the looker! It is neat that he comes for food visits! I had a friend who once had a Crow he raised from a baby! If a stranger came in the yard LOOK out it would swoop you! it knew who his friends were!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@brillomick Thanks Mickey, he is quite a character.
