Re: Blackbird…
I could be wrong but that looks like a young male.... the beak is yellowy coloured. Female blackbirds have light brown beaks. 
Great pics btw.

Re: Blackbird…
Not sure. It certainly looks like this picture of a female.
[EDIT: Actually, someone else at another forum has also suggested that it's a juvenile male so I stand corrected]

Re: Blackbird…
Yeah. It's a baby male. Probably was out with dad. Saw one the other day doing the squeak/wing flap routine at dad - who paid no attention  Got to find your own worms some day, I guess. It's the feathers and the daft look in the eye that give it away - not had a run-in with the cat yet, so still thinks the world's a nice place. Bless.

I borrowed my Mum's Kodak Z740 as it has a nice large lens and 10x optical zoom. Lovely camera.

Re: Blackbird…
Just a thought... Keep an eye on the pond for the young of smaller birds - liable to take a tumble when trying to drink. All too easy to get wings tangled with feet. Could be a tragedy

Our pond actually has a shallow "waterfall" that the birds use for drinking and bathing so no problems there.
