Perky Blackbird+ previous one.

Almost like Andy with his snipe shot. I had a request for a "tail up " blackbird the other day and realised out of thousands of pics I hadn't got one. Went out in the garden hide and had a dozen in half an hour !

Such a typical blackbird pose, but I don't think I have any like it either. Nice to see the female posted as well.

Good point John. Yes, good shot but wasn't it a bit too easy?

Thats nice, the lower viewpoint adds to the pose... Blackbird Pride....

there's always something satisfying about getting an image on demand! I do like the alert pose here.
