Blackbird with Tick on her head

eating my blackberries in my garden. I hope the tick falls off once it has had its fill.

Oh I have never seen a tick on a bird! Hope it didn’t jump on a passing person! Yuk! My pet hate! I carry a tick remover in my dog bag just in case!

Great shot of this rather unusual scene to me. I have never seen a bird with a tick before. Hope it really falls of soon.

You take so many great photos that I fav almost all of them--but this is one of my all-time faves. Great detail in bird and berries, and I like the sparkle in his eye.
