Turdus merula The European blackbird.
Enjoying the mealworm usually favourite of the robin. One of our most common garden birds; can be agressively territorial.

Excellent detail, lovely pics. Ed.
Very Nice Shots, feeling inspired to go shoot some birds this week.
Really good images with nicely blurred background.
They are territorial but this time of year I get 4 or 5 in my garden at once until the neighbours cat chases them away.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice clear shots ... as Ed said ... good detail! I miss the Blackbird...Undecided

Thanks for the share

Kind regards

Rolf
All great captures.
