Blackbird Fledgling

Blackbird Fledgling
Ready to fledge at 13-14 days, but if the nest is disturbed, they can leave and survive as early as nine days old. I think this one is almost ready to leave the parents! Last year they brought 3 to the garden, but just one this year.

Thank you very much Nick. The bird was quite trusting for a few seconds. Long enough for me to get a few shots. I certainly hope the bird has a good life. All the best ~ Rosa.

A wonderful pair of images Rosa...............the young blackbird is really gorgeous with his speckled baby feathers. The detail you've captured is superb, especially when viewed large.

You're really luck to have it in your garden. Take care!
3 years ago.
Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you very much Keith. Last year I had three come to visit and much younger. I have only seen this one in the last few days. I think it will be off on its own very shortly.

Managed to get a slot at Kingston Lacy (N.T.) tomorrow, so hoping for decent weather!
Good evening.

Hi Rosa,
Everything seems to get to your garden early!!
I checked back for when my blackbirds hatched, it was the end of May

No matter, it is still a superb capture!
Best Wishes and stay safe!

Hi Peter,
It does seem that way! I love the picture in your link and remember it very well. I hope you get the same opportunity for such a picture this year. I think there are another pair of blackbirds nesting in my front garden hedge, so will see what happens there!
Take care. Best wishes,
Rosa.

Mirlo o estornina, está bien capturado. Si es mirlo es más fácil que se quede en tu jardín, si es hembra de estornino se unirá a un numeroso bando para desplazarse al Sur.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to José Manuel Polo club
It is most definitely a fledgling blackbird Jose Manuel. In fact I have not seen any starling in my garden for years. I think there is another blackbirds nest in my front garden hedge, so will see how many chicks survive and whether they bring them to my back door.

Very nice portrait of this young bird. I myself could watch three of them in my backgarden. One day they made me laugh when two of them were sitting by the watering place dipping their bills simultaneously for many times!

Doug Shepherd club
Oh great capture Rosa, good to see this youngster out and about. Not seen any fledglings in our garden as yet. For the whole of April we have had a more or less constant cold wind from the north/northeast together with night frosts, which may explain why;-(

All the best, Doug

Thank you Doug. We have had the frosts but not too much wind. The frost has damaged the hydrangea, even though I covered it.

All the best, Rosa.
