This week’s photo celebrates my favourite garden bird, the blackbird. A charming species that hops joyfully sweeping the garden for grubs and berries.
Blackbirds are often the first to start singing in the year and they have a repertoire of songs to choose from so make sure you listen out for their early morning song in the coming weeks.
Forget fight or flight, this blackbird's all about food or flight (Photo courtesy of Nature’s Home reader John Cobham)
