Poor blackbird

[Joe T]

This female blackbird seemed to have a real problem with one of her legs, and possibly her wing too. All she could do was hop around on the ground, poor thing! At least there was plenty of food at the feeding station!

650mm, 1/400, f/4.8 iso 800
No crop or noise reduction.

Hope you like

Good shot - but she does look the worst for wear.
Especially with all that suff on her beak and feathers.

That`s a pity Joe lets hope she recovers, was this in your garden?

Thanks, yes she looks very sad.

This was at a local nature reserve. The feeding station gets topped up every day I believe, so she should survive a good while on that food alone I guess.

Bit of a target for predators though!
