Nat King Cole seems to have a white spot on his head - very distinctive, very cute.
My blackbird has disappeared! I was awake at 4am yesterday (like you are when you are a woman of a certain age) I heard the Robin singing then ...... nothing. I lay there feeling pretty upset as I realised I hadn't actually seen or heard him for about a week.
I have had blackbirds for as long as I can remember and I know the female is still around still so I can only assume something bad has happened to him.
I have five cotoneaster trees in the garden and leylandii for them to nest in, it's a great garden for blackbirds so I can only hope that one of this year's broods will come here.
That was a month or so ago when the strawberries were much smaller. He was happily hopping around the greenhouse yesterday when I was in there but my camera's given up I'll certainly need to net the strawbs but will also take some raisins next week!

Love that photo of Nat King Cole!
This is mine at the garden where I work:
