Determination

I was having a close look at the pond to see whether there was any more frog spawn when I heard loud splashing near me. I looked round and there, not much more than a couple of metres away, was a female Blackbird bathing in the pond waterfall:

We looked at each other for a short while and then I slowly took the Nikon out of my shirt pocket, gently pointed it in the general direction of the bird and manage to get a shot.

Most birds would not have come down to the pond with me standing so close but she was determined it was bath time and once I stopped looking at her she carried on bathing.

  1. Excellent, I sometimes think that the amount spent on food for them warrants their repaying the favour by posing a bit.

    1. TWG: I wonder if it's the same one which used to follow me about at feeding time early last year.
