Black and White

Well, a kind of 'off' white as the white of the conservatory is as not as white as it used to be due to bad weather and bird mess!  Speaking of which, this is 'thug', possibly the most violent and aggressive male blackbird I have ever met, but then he has had no choice, there have been SO many blackbirds this year - they're so territorial and he has been fighting off at least 5 males in his territory this year... no wonder he looks a little worse for wear!
