The Mallen Streak

I met a new friend yesterday whilst pottering in the garden. A blackbird with a white stripe on one side of her crown !  I have called her Mallen. Here she is with her sister, sorry about the picture quality, I was trying not to spook them. She kept getting closer,and seemed curious with me, before hoping up onto the wall around 4 feet from me :)

We do get quite a lot of blackbirds in our garden, they don't seem to be territorial up here as they are down south.
