Old Bird?



This Blackbird was sat eating berries quite nonchalantly.
I think, and I really am no bird expert, that he is quite old - maybe he just couldn't find the energy to fly away? I think he has some sort of Tick or other parasite on his throat?

A nice close up of a real English bird. I too also have a new post up over at Toruń DP. Thanks for the comment. I came to Poland 5 years ago as I met my Polish wife to be, in England. I work here as a qualified English language teacher.

Very pretty, black against red. I hope the bird was not sick and was going to be OK and that the parasite, if there was one, wasn't hurting it.

Hey Ame - you taking the rip out of me here? Have I misspelled sumfink again??? ;)

Mary, thanks - your art is amazing, I don't have the creative gene you seem to possess in spades.

Alays, thanks - I love the fact that Blackbirds are not really black, but grey and dirty looking and brown and and and...
