Good balance needed (Turdus merula)

When going to our different feeding stations I like to spread the food around quite a bit, so as well as the actual feeders, we put some on fence post, and connecting rails, on any flat bits on the gates and also scattered on the ground around and the road (no traffic).

The male Blackbird this day decided it looked god on the fence rail so hopped up there, even though it is quite narrow. Obviously his balance is good!

Lovely Blackie capture Delia...We took a drive out onto the marshes yesterday, but no winter swans, plenty of Mute Swans though.
