Hi all, I'm brand new to birding
This little brown bird and 6 other identical ones were all feeding on fat balls and mixed seed this morning- from what I've read, I think its a juvenile blackbird, but I'm not sure.Thanks!

Hello Lewis, welcome from up in the very far north of Scotland, in Caithness. We are all still learning, me thinks, well I am anyway! Enjoy here, we are a good bunch and any questions just ask, no matter how silly you think they may be, there will always be someone here to help. I feed seed, sunflower hearts, Niger seed, fat balls/cakes/logs and peanuts. All in feeders or holders. If you want to try and make some bird pastry, it is very easy. Mix shops own flour with half the quantity of fat, to that you can add, seed, chopped nuts, grated cheese, suet pieces, dried fruits (sultanas/raisins) whatever you fancy. Add a splash of water to bind it all together and place in a bag in the fridge for a few hours, just to firm up. You can they shape pieces to fit into feeders or pull of small pieces and squeeze aroung the branches. They love it, so sit back and wait and you will soon have lots of new feathered friends.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
