Female Blackbird on Cotoneaster.

I was sitting at my computer when this lovely female blackbird perched on the cotoneaster by the window, to feed on the berries. Luckily I had a camera handy. Because it's a bow window and double glazed, the light reflected from it, causing a few stripes to the right, and the bird appears lighter than it actually was.

This is rather nice Rosa. Love blackbirds but we have less here nowadays as neighbours take away more and more trees. I presume this is your second camera and a very nice take from it too , with this blurred background. Well done.

Enjoy the day. Herb

Thank you Herb. We have a lot of hedges around the garden so there always seems to be a blackbird about. Sometimes the front hedge almost moves with the chirping of many sparrows who sit in it! Yes it's a second camera I keep handy.

Sunday greetings, Rosa.

Perfect focus on the eye, Rosa. The red berries and leaves add a lovely splash of colour to the scene. I love the also the bokeh, I hope you are having an enjoyable weekend. Cheers, Joe

Thank you Joe. It was the best of three pictures I managed to take before the bird flew away.
