We have about 5 Blackbirds that occupy the garden and get on very well together (most of the time). In winter, they become very active in the garden as they run around in short bursts.
Male
Close up
A female would show herself when the males weren't around.
Collared Doves (a rare sight in the garden) also visited today.

A fat Woodpigeon fed along side the Doves and ate most of the seeds.
This shot was taken looking down on the bird.
Sorry about the foreground!

Hi Billy, good piccies through the glass, do you do any work on your photo's at all afterwards with Photoshop at all?
We now have a new tripod to get steadier pictures and have been experimenting with video's today, through double glazing they seem better then the stills.

Hi Phil, thanks. Yes, if need be I do a little bit of editing using a free internet photo editing service called Picnik- keep it a secret though ;)
Tripods are very useful, I have one as well and used it for today's shots. Good luck with it!
Billy.
Hi Billy
Thank you for telling me the name of the duck and also that I had named the birds wrong, a senior moment I think!!
I have a paid subscription to picnik and my photo's are never that clear!! I like using their collage in their premium feature.
Phil told me of another free one today for editing photo's PIXLR

I also have Corel Snapfire plus which is very good, it came with mt Corel Paintshop Pro Photo X1.
Today's photo's on my blog were taken with my Sony Cybershot.
Hope you are feeling better today and was able to get out a while in the sunshine? Jackie.
