I love blackbirds

So handsome. Sadly some branches in the way here.

The photos I took over the last few days seem to have disappeared from my camera and everyone questioned denies having scrubbed the card. Ho hum.
I suspect however it may have been a particularly naughty labrador (naming no names - Billy!!)as one set of pictures showed a rather lovely birthday cake I had made in the shape of a 13 which by the time I rescued it from someones jaws looked more like a badly disfigured 17. Nice pile of dog sick with a candle in it the next day!!!
