Blackbird (By the 1st Lake, Harbour Road, Lydney)

Believe it or not, I haven't taken any shots of birds, I've been used to those from my "little bag". Now, I'm running out. There has been bad weather, and there was one day I could have taken my camera, but, I had to pick up my son. It is very nice to be with him for a night. Let's have a happy birds day for the camera.

Lovely photos of the Blackbird, Bob. It has rained here for most of the day but now it is too late to do much the sun has come out! So nice that you were able to spend time with your son.

That was a magnificent shot of the hawk on yesterday's post!

Glad you were able to spend time with your son!

Wow... MY blackbirds sure aren't this beautiful, of course it could be the 'amateur' photographer behind the camera!

Bob, you sure know how to bring out the magnificent beauty in everything you photograph, whether it is a common Blackbird or a majestic Eagle!

Let's hope the good weather is coming back so you can replenish your little "bag"..otherwise you might get a rabbit instead of a bird out of it!
We had a snow storm today!

Lovely series!

Rohrerbot said...

I like that "bag" of photos myself:) Love the blackbird pics.....it's hard to get shots of all red or black or green birds....and blue ones as well:) But all red and all black are the worst! Nice detail in these photos.

Wonderful black bird photos Bob! I love their song! In unserem Garten singen oft Amseln! :-)
How old is your son? Does he like birds?

Bob Bushell said...

He's 21, and he likes nature as a whole.

The Blackbird - such rich detail in your photos. Your blog is a treasure trove, and I like when you share from your "little bag". I am so pleased to hear of you spending time with your son. Take care, Bob.

Hilary said...

What a beauty. Our red-winged blackbirds have just returned for the season. That's a true sign of spring.

Noushka said...

Brilliant and... shiny!
Amazing the difference between your pictures and mine!
Canon isn't Nikon and vice versa! LOL!
Well done!

ashok said...

LadyFi said...

Ah- so lovely!

LE CHEMIN DES GRANDS JARDINS said...

Ces merles nous charment par leur chant et j'ai beaucoup de plaisir à les revoir sur tes images, si vivants dans leur posture.
Excellent travail.
Amicalement,

Roger

what beautiful shots of the lovely blackbird...with the BRIGHT yellow beak and ring around her eye!

hope you're having a nice visit with your son!!

(and when your bag runs almost dry, you can always do a BEST OF...)

Helma said...

Never knew that an ordinary blackbird could be so beautiful. You have shown him pretty sharp, and even his black plumage is pleasing to the eye.

Greetings, Helma
