Our fat ball feeder is having some unusual visitors recently. The local male blackbird is using it quite frequently, as is at least one robin. What looks to be a juvenile blackbird is also trying to emulate the elder bird. I think we also have a warbler of sorts using it, but without any form of optics to allow me a closer look I can't be sure. Am I correct in assuming these all to be unusual?
This one is a bit foggy looking because it was taken through a closed window.
Spotted Mrs Blackcap again a few times including earlier today. Is it a monogomous species of bird? i.e. are the male and female an actual couple or am I just assuming that?

We all do that's part of the fun of birding ;-)
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Only dozens? That's better than me!! As Linda says, we all do it...that's why there is a whole thread of "bad photos of fab wildlife" lol Link Here
Couple more photos from this week.
Mr Sparrow ignoring Mr Blackcap
I did get a shot or two of the long tailed tits but not very successful ones. First is a bit out of focus but would have been a good photo otherwise and in the second one they're not being very cooperative!
