    Another young blackbird in the garden

    This little fella was sitting in the garden yesterday. Have been seeing his brothers and sisters hopping around all week, but this one has been more open to attention than the rest.

    LOL, this little fella is about the 6th I've had in as many days. There are a couple blackbird nests in the eaves of my house and one or two in the fir tree too.

    Here's a funny vid of one I recorded a few years ago at my old place, a young bird surrounded by seed on the floor, badgering the adult to feed it but hasn't yet sussed it could pick-up the seed itself!...

    Later in the day he hopped off up the garden, mother (or father) came and fed him, then he spent some time in a shrub about 3 feet off the ground, then haven't seen him since. Think he'll be ok. Thanks for paying attention to the little dude though.
