8th December 2013 - A manicure did you say?

Two aggresive blackbirds against the robin today all going for control of the mealworms. This blackbird is now standing guard as the other one feeds. I couldn't help notice his very long claws.

Many thanks for your great comments and Favs on my tree shots yesterday. I always appreciate you stopping by and commenting!!

We had a lovely family meal last night but I am exhausted!! We had a great meal and then played silly games after. Great fun!! I am having a rest today!!

He sure needs a trim :)

Perhaps a touch of red nail varnish would make him look more festive !! --Great shot Pam

[Katia]

Yep, a manicure is needed! :D :D

[Ross Walker]

Isn't it nice that our family meals don't involve guarding the food against intruders? Nice job showing us this bird story.

[Kathie]

With those claws I'd want him on my side.

Lovely shot Pam. I'm sorry you weren't able to come on Saturday to the meet up but there was a lot of walking so it would have caused you a lot of pain. Great shot
