    Birds and my plum tree

    Certainly at least similar if not exactly the same. I'll take more notice of their markings when I next see them.

    What’s this Blackbird doing?

    Sun bathing, not sure if it helps get parasites out of the feathers or they just do it because they like it. It looks like a youngster to me.

    Blackbirds are weird

    I've planted some young shrubs that will produce berries but I'll have to wait and see whether the Blackbirds are interested. As a treat I feed them some raisins every day and they love them.

    No foxes in the garden. No other signs of badgers, but some hedgehog droppings. We know what badger signs look like from our last place.

    Bird IDs

    I have to agree. There are dozens of them near me. I counted seven splashing in my tiny water feature. They were actually standing on the floating leaves to bathe.
