Grab and run (Turdus merula)

.... which is why there's a lot of movement in this - he grabbed a bit of grape, then ran across the roof.... next pic was half a tail!!!

The birds do like their grapes!

"Grapes! She put out grapes! Get 'em while they last, folks!" Looks like he's afraid somebody's gonna come chasing after him, perhaps because he grabbed the last one?

Yes, nice sense of action from the movement blur. Guess he's taking the grape while he can, as you suggest, to a less open spot where other birds are less likely to take it off him. Nice SF Delia.
