Calling Blackbird
Canon 1dIII 500mm +1.4x f6.3 1/1600

Hi all

Another shot from my blackbird adventures. What with working with these in the morning, and hares in the evening, I'm having a ball! And, bonus, the sun keeps shining!

Looks like a well executed shot Simon, on this occasion I like the mush.

Cracking shot. I must have a go at these because for such a common bird I have suprisingly little.

It would be good to see some windfall apples in the mix somewhere :wink:
