    Default Royal Blackbird sees first snow.

    Didn't seem to bother him too much though, neither did the presence of another six Blackbirds.

    I suppose he thought he was partly camouflaged!

    Really lovely photo, Rolf!

    No snow here - so far - just rain, rain, rain..... and the Forest roads are flooded again!

    A small crowd of Long-tailed Tits, plus return of the red head Blackcap, feasting on the suet pellets.

    What a cute pair of birds you have there, Rolf!

    Great photos showing a very agile LTT as it eats his 'prize', and I LOVE that little ginger-topped Blackcap - such a character!

    We have a male calling fairly regularly, but he always stays at the faraway feeders, in particular the one on the left hand side as we look at them - too far away for a decent pic!
