With the twinkle in the eye of this Lady Blackbird - who could resist parting with a few meal worms?

About minus 1/2 stop with the fill-in flash does help!

Hmmm, her head's nice and sharp but I think that BG is too distracting

Distracting! Takes hours of power-washing after the little blighters have decorated it. Have nearly 1000sq ft of paving at the back of the house before starting on 150 x60 ft of garden! Am spoilt by open fields over the fence and our village nature reserve then over the fen to Ely Cathedral on the skyline, so it looks as if the garden is about 2 miles long! The village is very wildlife friendly and we as a parish own the paddocks and nature reserve bought with grants and local subscription a few years back.

I will have to come back as Dr Doolittle and tell our feathered friends where to perch!

Taken downward for the open window so only about five foot from the lens and looking up at me wondering if I was going to venture out with more grub. It was the sparkle in the eye that I liked.

LOL! I shall patiently await your Doolittle remonstrating with the wildlife and the resulting images with them perched inches away!

The sparkle in the eye and the tilt of head do it for me, she looks inquisitive and little bit cheeky! You can almost hear her saying... Come on don't be shy, give those mealworms, you know you want too

A good shot, although it looks like the focus is on her (excuse the pun) breast rather than her head.

I too like the twinkle in her eye. I think the focus is also on her breast rather than her head. Still a great shot though! Little chirpers are not the best at holding a pose for very long.
