    Default Female Blackbird in garden

    I've never seen so many blackbirds in the garden at one time, counted seven at one time yesterday, five males and two females. I guess there's a truce in really bad weather.

    The second photo shows two of the males happily sharing the amelanchier, there were another couple just out of view.

    The female is a cracking shot Rolf
    They are probably looking out for their food with the Redwings about and also it' pairing up time

    Great shot of the female. There's no truce in my garden - 3 the other day but only briefly. Unfortunately for me they took the squabble over the fence into the next garden, so no shots.
