Blackie snacking on holly berries.

Great capture & excellent timing Kate.

Lucky you with the bird AND the berries. A pretty subject, well caught.

Thanks Paul, Ange and Julia! Lovely comments from the three of you. Yes, one of those fortunate moments. ☺️

Thanks Klahanie! Much appreciated. Nice to see them, they’ve been late to the table this year for me :-)

Well caught on camera Kate . . . that's a cracking shot!

Yes, a fabulous pic Kate! You caught her just right..:))
I have a male blackbird that comes right up to my kitchen door, who's very territorial, he won't even allow a female one anywhere near...

Thanks Paul! I don’t always have the patience!
Thank you, Shirley! Much appreciated :-)
Thank you, Janey, she did arrive while I was waiting, good timing for once! I’m envious of your little visitor. I do love to see the males with their yellow beaks.
The only time I find them getting closer to me or the house is when they are feeding young!!!

Lovely subtle colour in your photo Kate ... let’s hope you’ll send us many more in the new year 🙂.

I love the Blackies Kate!
Happy New Year to you and yours!

Aw thanks Sheila! I’ve spotted several out there today with some tits and a little robin. However, it’s freezing out there! I’ll just admire them from inside in the warmth and hope it gets a bit milder soon...then, back out clicking the camera ☺️

Great minds, Rose! Happy New Year to you and your family too! Best wishes for the coming months x

The holly here has been brilliant this year plenty of berries for everyone! That's a good capture Kate - you were in the right place at the right time!

Beautiful photo.

Thanks Sue and Chris! You’re right, I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time! Not often the case for me!

Fabulous photo Kate well done ....

Thanks, that’s kind, Amy.

Lovely picture Kate i miss seeing all the birds we hardly have any now

lovely picture Kate i miss seeing our birds not many here now

Aw thanks Lesley, I’m just pleased they all now seem to remember where I live! I hope things change and you see some more birds in your garden soon. ;-)

Well caught photo Kate. Sometimes you can focus in on the bird and by the time you press the button to take the photo they're gone......

Thank you Linda, I appreciate your message. You are so right, they are so quick. Gone in a click of a button!

Excellent composition........ love it.

Much appreciated, thank you Dd.
