Description
A poor shot as not only with my point and shoot on zoom handheld but through rather dirty double glazing.
She is rather furtive and I was thrilled to get any record at all !
It''s quite rare to see these leucistic individuals, and this is the first in my garden for years.
European blackbirds (Turdus merula) are in the same family as American robins (Turdus migratorius).

What a catch!! You are lucky indeed to have caught this. I have started going out with a birding group here and they will be excited to see this.
Congratulations on the capture. Your complaints about the quality just highlight the fact that I know nothing about photography...I think it looks great.
Nice!
Adorable creature !!!!!
Both images are great
A very lovely blackbird. We have alot of them here. Sometimes 7-8 at the same time, when I have thrown old apples for them. If not the roe deers got them first, that is :-P
The second image is sharper and both are a little dark but that can easily be fixed. How lucky you are. I have not seen a blackbird in decades. This well fed lady is quite photogenic.
Two x's pretty bird !
Thanks for sharing Andrea.
She is beautiful.
It's a super capture of this little blackbird.
Furtive is a good word for these birds; the female red-winged blackbirds are very hard to spot, and are always ducking into the reeds. Good shot considering the windows!
Nice!
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
This little fella would go well with the black sheep that lives in the field at the bottom of my garden it has one pure white ear.
