In the second photo I've gone in really close to show you the whiskers... must be left over from his stint as Father Christmas ;)

Oh yes, I've never noticed that before, good close up.:)
I borrowed someones big-bugger lens :)
Did you manage to lift it? :eek: :-rofl
Just about - but I did have to counterweight it by hanging a load of books off my back ;)
LOL, just trying to visualise that. :-rofl
Lovely shots Louise.:-cthumb
I have noticed other birds have whiskers The Robin does .
Louise,
Would your' blackbird like a wife?
He probably would, but she does look a little grumpy.. I can't see her liking him going off on his own ever again (you know, standing by the door with a frying pan in her hand "and WHAT time do you call this?!?" ) ;)
Lovely shot, BTW, and she also had a good set of whiskers.... where are those waxing strips when you need them? :)
All three photos are excellent, folks!:-cthumb
I've never noticed Blackbirds' 'whiskers' before either.
I wonder if they act as extra sensors - for when they are looking for or 'testing' food, or are being urged by their young to pass over some to them?
super shot, whiskers as well!! mike
