Common Blackbird juvenile

Common Blackbird juvenile

Several pairs of Blackbirds have manged to breed successfully in and around my garden this year. Newly fledged juveniles are very pale on the head and breast. This one is starting to show some adult feathers as it tries to shelter from yet another rain storm. It was photographed through my living room window.
