Here is the thrush, sitting on an electricity wire...

...and here is the black bird who was sitting just a few metres away on the electricity pole!

In other news, I have now caught up with my Photo-a-day posts and I'm going to try to keep on top of them from now on. In a way it's not the taking of the photo that's the problem, it's downloading, sorting, judging, tweaking and posting that takes the time.
Having got almost to the halfway point, I want to continue and finish the year, if for no other reason than to say, "Been there, done that," and never feel tempted to do it again!
