Good balance needed
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...- delia todd

The chase
I'd been chasing this Blackbird all over the feeding area without any luck. Then he flew down onto the road behind the gate. This is taken through the windscreen, and between the bars of the gate. So sorry about the poor focusing job. TTTW- delia todd

Posing
We don't seem to travel too far at this time of year, so this is a Eurasian Blackbird spotted in a tree before coming down to feed. Checking out the opposition perhaps LOL- delia todd

Eurasian Blackbird
Introduced from 1862, Blackbirds are abundant throughout New Zealand. This is the last photo of introduced birds, we also saw Dunnocks, Goldfinches and Skylarks, but I was disappointed not to get the Cirl Bunting.- peterday

Was anyone watching? The Eurasian Blackbird again, this time after he'd completed his high jump exploit, and obviously acknowledging the applause.- delia todd

Ready for take-off
The houses which front onto the canal on the opposite side to the towpath have private boat mooring privileges. This one has a series of breeze block ledges and is covered with a variety of old road (mostly) signs. There was a ledge just above this Eurasian Blackbird and rather than 'fly up'...- delia todd

It's Magic!
Down at the Craighall feeders for a change, a Eurasian Blackbird decided he liked the food we'd put on a gate post. But was wondering how on earth that peanut was levitating just under his bill. Saturday Fun- delia todd

Not a Lifer
Wandering back along the path I found a bird I wasn't sure about, so posted it on the forum for identification. Of course a female Eurasian Blackbird, which I just wasn't expecting LOL. Quite a few species of European origin had been introduced to Australia (and New Zealand of course) but I...- delia todd

Eurasian Blackbird
This is (obviously) another shot of the bird I posted earlier: it hasn't finished preening and still looks rather dishevelled. But once it found that perch, it stayed a full two or three minutes until the job was done. (SF aside, it's always good to see bill and eye in a bird photo). Thank you...- Jonno52

Another shot of the male Blackbird which was on our electricity substation roof in March. Without recent rain, the pool's now bone-dry. Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well.

Eurasian Blackbird
Another visitor to the substation roof rainwater pool, a female Blackbird. I got plenty of shots with its head under water, or thrashing about with masses of spray, but here it's taking a momentary rest. Getting clean is hard work.

Eurasian Blackbird
This was taken on 26 December. It may or may not be the bird I posted bathing on our our substation roof on 11 November (there's currently only one male around, but more than one female). In any case, I like the "expression" on this bird's face ;-) Thank you for your comments, stay safe and...- Jonno52

Like the bathing Robins, this was a visitor to the temporary pool of rainwater on our substation roof last Saturday. I'm hoping for more rain before the pool can dry out. Thanks for your comments, stay safe and well. John- Jonno52

Practise
... does help! This was another of my friend's efforts. He was a bit quicker in getting the camera focused. Though I think the bill isn't quite right, perhaps it moved. It seems the Blackbird has almost finished the offerings on that gatepost.- delia todd

Insecure
I think this is the only young Blackbird I've seen this summer. Some species really seemed to suffer with the poor weather during June. Probably not too long out of the nest. TTTW- delia todd

Snow fun 2 (SF)
The shot immediately before this, the Blackbird had buried his head completely in the snow and this was the result when he lifted. Of course I didn't notice at the time of shooting, it was only when I was looking through the folder later. Hope it amuses you as much as it did me when I first...- delia todd
