A pretty nice pose of the blackbird. They are common birds and any visit to the marsh offers a shooting at them. They are very good model, showing lots of nice poses and actions but because they are black it's a chalenge to get details. (taken june 2025)

I agree with Debra. I also like the colour of the plants around the bird...makes the bird stand out.

Good timing on that pose Yves, the tail is fanned out beautifully.
