A treat for bird watchers

Yesterday was a great day for birdwatching. The heavy snow didn't seem to deter them and the blackbirds especially were feeding throughout the afternoon.


Robins are supposed to be very protective of their part of the garden but these two seem to have a mutual respect for each other.



There was one mystery visitor who looked a cross between a female blackbird, a thrush and a cuckoo but the latest concensus is that it is a juvaline something. Suggestions welcome.
