Young blackbird

And they are so big! I had one the other day, trailing after mum, begging for food and it was bigger than mum.

So ungainly at that age,aren't they,but very sweet!!!!

yes they're so big and plump - this one was just so chilled sat there - opened its beak up - couldn't feed it don't know how they take it, parents no doubt watching

great shot Paul.. :-)

Excellent shot

Has funny "fingers"...:)

Thanks Sheilar - yes certainly does Katarina :D

What a fatty lol

Dottydaisy, they look often fatty, but usuallu it is just feathers. In fact they are very fragile creatures.
