The two young Blackbirds continue to spend most of their time in the garden. As Blackbirds usually like a slice of apple in their diet I put a couple of slices on the bird table to see who would eat them. This morning I managed to take some video of the youngsters tucking in.
Hand held recording through the kitchen window so a bit unsteady.
That's very good for hand held. Reminds me seeing them enjoying the apple that I forgot to get any yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: As the camcorder doesn't have a viewfinder I gently hold the bottom corner of the LCD screen with my left hand which seems to help to keep it steadier.
DeleteThey are so brown looking that I wouldn't have known they were blackbirds! Who is cooing in the background - some sort of dove?
ReplyDeleteEllen: They are still in their 'baby' plumage which is good camouflage when they are in hedges and bushes. That should start changing fairly soon. The cooing is from a Collared Dove.
