10th November 2013 - Blackbird

Finally it seems that some other birds are coming back to my garden. Perhaps there have been too many berries and insects elsewhere. This lovely blackbird stopped by - briefly - but now he has seen the mealworms I know he will be back!!

Definitely better large against black if you have time.

I went out and tried for light trails again last night and managed to use my tripod in the car. The shots were so much clearer than my first attempt. Now I need to find somewhere I can park and with interesting light trails. I was near a roundabout last night but the shots were quite confused with lots of white going round the roundabout. Definitely not worth sharing!!
Wow...he just jumps off the screen. So crisp!

I especially like seeing the yellow ring about the nice clear eye. Try someplace with a slightly higher viewpoint for your light trails.

Fantastic capture -- you're really doing well with getting these birds with complete clarity of their eyes.

@rvwalker Thanks for your help Ross - I will try to find somewhere higher.
