[Willpar]

Did you get to pick some for yourself?

Did you get to pick some for yourself?

Yes I did. But there are more than I can eat. My family doesn't like them because they are fairly small and loaded with pips.

Where have all the Blackbirds gone. In winters past 4-6 has been the daily norm but this year for most of the time it's 1 or 2 .Even the very cold weather didn't bring any more.

My numbers were up on my usual, before xmas, but not seeing many lately.

I've seen my first fledgling blackbird for this year today. It was chasing it's dad around making pitiful squeaking noises in an effort to get fed.

[Willpar]

Not seen any here yet, but see adults collecting food for them in the garden.

[Jacksparrow]

I think my blackbirds are going off for their summer moult. I haven't seen one for a couple of days and usually they're a constant presence.

[Willpar]

Am only seeing a couple. Not in the garden, but will check the cameras on Monday.

[Jacksparrow]

I have seen one in the last 48 hours. He must have missed the bus.
