if you look on the green bar on the top on the edges it has purple bits that should not be there,
Also the bird just captures the attention immediately. This must be amongst one of your best shots Scott.
I know your other ones are lovely but my oh my, I really like this one

its the first time i have noticed the purple fringing from the tamron 18-200mm never noticed it really before,
and thanks amin i was just lucky,
Ooops I should have worked on the noise on the squirrel image, but then it would decrease the sharpness as well and spoil a bit the drama affect

[
Blackbirds (and robins, and dunnocks) are all part of the thrush family so many folk confuse female blackbirds with thrushes, they are a similar size and move in a similar manner. Blackbirds won't rid your garden of snails as efficiently as thrushes though!
By the way, can they be identified through their songs? the blackbirds and the songthrush? If I am not mistaken the songthrush have quite a unique and wonderful tone when singing. They seem to love my sycamore tree in the backgarden and every single morning and sunset times at almost the same time a few of them perch right at the top. Very hard to catch a shot of them as first of all its a tall tree and secondly the background is always very bright so they all come as silhouettes, have made a few attempts I think I might have a couple of them somewhere here, let me see if I can dig them up.
