Feeding baby

Here I caught a female blackbird take some sunflower seeds from the feeder and take them to the baby blackbird and feed them. This was amazing to watch.

The males live up to their name but, confusingly, females are brown often with spots and streaks on their breasts. The bright orange-yellow beak and eye-ring make adult male blackbirds one of the most striking garden birds. One of the commonest UK birds, its mellow song is also a favourite.

Great to see them at the feeder.
