Our 'pet'

This is our 'pet' blackbird who was born last year.As you can see, he has a distinctive white patch. We were afraid that he would be shunned, and possibly mobbed by other birds because of this, but it doesn't seem to have happened. He comes every day to be fed, and I have tried many, many times to get a decent shot of him.I still haven't managed it- he's far too quick for me!
