Here's a couple of Blackbirds, I quite like this, an alert male with the Misses in the background.

Great title Tim
Detail captured is outstanding as usual, I love the fluffed up head & the eye detail & the defused Misses in the background lol, I think she adds a lot to the image.

Hi Tim
Not easy to get a really interesting image of these but you have achieved it here. Great setting and exposure. Also like the raised head feathers with that alert pose and the missus in the BG is a real bonus!

As said; great exposure and a great setting! It might be a common bird but i still like them a lot!

Nice blacks Tim. As said, hard to get good shots of these and the BG adds a lot to the image.
Good work!
