Male Blackbird #2 - Turdus merula

The blackbird returned today and sat still on the fence long enough for me to get a decent shot of him.
I have also discovered that he does not get on very well with the sparrows; he was quite aggresive and chased them all out of the garden. He will get his just desserts - wait till the jackdaws pick on him!

A fine shot. I love all your bird photos and commentaries. We have many of the same species that have been introduced to Australia, plus of course a few special ones of our own. You have inspired me to take my camera out in my yard more often and chronicle the local birdlife as you do.
