Great shot, the Starlings have been going round on mass, finding a tree with berries and stripping them till they are all gone. At the park Blackbird is the most seen at the moment going through the leaf litter.
Plenty of blackbirds, fieldfares and redwings out on the bushes when I visited Wicken fen on Saturday, though the berries in the towns and villages seem to be largely untouched at the moment. Guess this will change if harsher weather arrives.
wow - don't the two just go together so well?!! Yes, definitely. Made for fabulous photos Roy. Loving your new header photograph too
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole.
Deleteeen prachtige combinatie de rode bessen met de zwarte vogels.
ReplyDeleteVery striking colors!
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be mainly Blackbirds here which are after the red berries.
ReplyDeleteThey are a greedy lot John.{:))

ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda, I am hoping to see Waxwing doing the same this winter, but doubt it somehow.
DeleteI bet the birds are glad the Waxwings aren't here in numbers yet. More berries to go round. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes they are trying gobble them all up before they get here Keith.{:))
DeleteLovely photos, Roy
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy.

ReplyDeleteHopefully there won't be too much of that John.{:))

ReplyDeleteI am a fan of the blackbird. On a warm summer's evening you open the window and the song of the blackbird is sublime
Thanks Pete. It is a pretty special sound thats for sure.
DeleteI always find it as fun as the birds eat the berries sit on :-)
ReplyDeleteIts good practice Helma.{:))
DeleteA perfect combination!
