Blackbird and Nuthatch
Blackbirds appear to be not so shy. That is what I have noticed. I have seen them quite a lot and some were pretty comfortable with the hunan presence. Sometimes they can be so close that it will be a shame not to make a photo.
This female blackbird was so busy collecting food to feed her family, that would not mind me at all. First photos I took did not turn out good at all, rather blurry, but since the bird was happy to come towards me, I have plenty shots to choose from.
There must be many hungry little ones waiting for their dinner and the mother was collecting the bugs thoroughly under the pine tree. Then it flew across the road straight into the shrubs where the nest might be.
This is a good addition to BIRD AND FOOD contest. If you haven't joined yet, check the link for the rules. I will be more than happy to see your photos of birds feeding.
Now speaking about food, some birds developed other skills for finding food in our rubbish. I have seen seagulls, crows rummaging the bins, but the surprise came from the nuthatch. This is a bird I rarely see and here it was half way through the rubish bin.
And after that as if it saw me and looked straight in the lens like - What are looking at? Mind your own business.
I wonder what the nuthatch found among the rubish. I could not see, besides the bird did not stay any longer at one place.
Did you see any other bird searching food in rubish bins? I mentioned seagulls and crows. Perhaps there are others. It is interesting how the diet of the birds living with humans has changed.
And that is all. Wishing you all wonderful day!
