Blackbird on fence post, near Wightwick Mill Lock

Blackbird on fence post, near Wightwick Mill Lock

Male blackbird which was standing very boldly on a fence post just at the back of Wightwick Mill Lock. I’m not sure whether the apparent shortage of feathers in the tail is a trick of the camera angle, or because it has been helping raise a nestful of chicks.
