some great pictures everyone.. love them.. i rescued a bat other day on my patio and took it to bat hospital.. it was totally balled up in cobwebs.. they came back to release it tonight.. it was a 1 year old female and weighed in at a healthy 6gms.. so happy she survived.
Steve, lovely photos. It's definitely a blackbird, not sure if female or juvenile. Thrushes have a much lighter breast with noticeably contrasting spots.
1 of at least 6 Blackbirds i have in the garden at the mo
The flock of 6 Gold Finches, has gone down to this group of 3, seeing as they don't squabble like the others i wonder if this is a breeding pair with this years young

Top photo is from this week, when a mini flock of 6 Gold Finches came to visit.
Photo 2, is this a Thrush? or a molting female Blackbird?
And the others are from earlier in the year
It looks like a junvenile Blackbird and your 'charm' of Goldfinches are beautiful. Blue tits very cute. Great pics.
Not in my garden....
