Still no Dippers

Todays photo is of one of our most common birds the Blackbird this is a photo of an adult male and a really smart looking bird with its bright yellow bill & eye ring ! it was taken at the Ludwell Valley Country Park in Exeter , I had gone there to see if any Dippers had returned to the stream after the rough weather but there was still none to be seen , and all I did see was a flock of Long-Tailed Tit & a single Redwing & on the walk back there was a Common Kingfisher in the Northbrook Golf Course .
