Blackbird with cherry in 1st comment box.

 

The only time I saw birds taking wild cherries was when the wind and sunlight were really unsuitable for a decent photo. The branches the birds perched on were so flimsy they blew about all over the place in the strong wind. The birds were also in and out of shadow into direct strong sunshine. It was so rare to see a mistle thrush locally I just had to have a go.
