Young Blackbird

I imagine many of you are aware of how fond I am of my Blackbirds. As soon as I open my living room curtains in the morning they are there waiting for morning meal worm.  This young one is clearly getting adult feathers from bottom up. The head still showing young speckles.

The local forecast was spot on today : I got washing dried out on the line, food shopping done before it rained as forecast at 2pm.
