Female common blackbird. Where the male is black, females are more brown.

#Birdoftheday alternative is #Blurry? No problem. These two masterpieces were taken within two minutes of each other.

1. Turns out 1/640th of a second isn't quick enough, even if the great tit was all in frame.

2. 'Just' missed focus on a robin (Eurasian robin).

Another reply suggests they may not all be oystercatchers, and some might be godwits. One thing I do know is there were a lot of them. Here's another photo taken around the same time, which I didn't post earlier.

Flock of mainly oystercatchers, but with a couple of teal mixed in.
