I was outside just checking my new ggs screen protector on my K7 when the Blackbird decided to come and have a look. It was just a quick point and press really.

He only looks a young un' obviously his parents have not warned him of the bird paparazi

Some info re-focal length would be nice, I'd look myself but theres no exif data.

It's a young male, females don't have yellow beaks.

They are very friendly if you put down some sultanas, currants,
raisins etc. One actually came into my house looking for some

Really ? Interesting, never knew that !

Not round here - they are unbelievably shy, won't come within 30 yds at most.

That's a nice birdie dudie - sadly I rarely get so close to them

I like the opic but can't add anything to the age/ sex information as despite trying to learn more they are still birdie dudies and tweety birds to me at the moment
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Definately male, this is probably his first winter.
