    And he wasn't really slim to begin with! Doubt he'll starve this winter 😉

    Black goes nice with that redness, and as Adele mentioned, he will not starve this winter 😀

    Neil, thanks! It will be interesting to see how long he takes to strip that shrub.

    Darko, thanks. The red does work well with blackbirds. With a bit of luck he'll come back for more.

    Adele, yes I think he'll manage. I'm surprised he could take off :chef:
