BLACKBIRDS

My blackbirds have disappeared for the summer moult. I put out sultanas but they remain uneaten.

Am still getting mine, though i think less visits.

I saw a blackbird today. The first for several weeks.

[Willpar]

Great to see. My cameras are still picking them up in the garden. Mainly early in the morning.

[Jacksparrow]

The blackbirds are properly back now. There was 5 in the back garden at 8 o'clock this morning.

[Willpar]

That is a lot of blackbirds.

[Willpar]

Had three blackbirds in the garden this morning.

Had three blackbirds in the garden this morning.

Apart from one day when I had five at the same time my normal is two. One male, one female.

[Willpar]

I have a late crop of pyracantha berries; the blackbirds are loving them.

The Blackbirds are now finishing up the grapes on my vine. The warm weather produced a good crop this year. There was some late flowering and those are just coming ripe now.
