Scruffy blackbird by pamknowler

Scruffy blackbird

Two male blackbirds chasing each other round and round in the garden making lots of noise. This one landed on the fence round our decking right in front of me and stayed just long enough for a shot. He looks very scruffy so I am not sure if he is a youngster or an adult.

Best on black. I took it into Topaz texture Effects to get rid of the wall in the background.

Uploaded for my alternate album
Still a nice shot and it's definitely an adult bird as the youngsters start off brown with quite a speckly chest. Fav

What a beauty. I find when I use textures that it is so tricky to get the lighting right. Here it looks as if it is backlit or at least lit from left bottom but the eye looks lit from top left. Nicely done nonetheless

Love the background

He does look a little the worse for wear.

Maybe he is looking a bit scraggy due to your dry weather.
