My blackbirds also get apples. I get plenty of the apple trees in my brother's garden. They love them! Yesterday and today I have the visit of Starlings. It's nice that they always announce themselves with their cute little noices. But its very hard to take decent pictures. Even when there is sun (its sunny again today) it doesn't reach my wall-surrounded garden, so it stays dark there. Its horribly cold again today, just checked the thermometer : -2°C! My starlings are a bit clumsy, they have difficulty to eat from the hanging fat balls.
To make it more easy for them I've put one of these now in a container on top of my pergola. The water in the birdbaths is solid frozen so once in a while I have to pour in warm water for my birds to drink..
