Blackbird & nesting material

This mother (I assume, from the browness of the plumage) was in my back garden collecting nesting material from under the shrubs.
I was in the house at the time and fired off 8 shots, the first six were when she was on the soil and almost blended in, so they were useless. The last two were when she flew up to the fence just after our cat went out through his cat flap making wierd "I'm a cat, your a bird" noises.
Taken on the 55-250 IS (my longest lens) and cropped as well, taken through the kitchen window!
Noiseware ran to soften up the foliage behind her.
Simple bird, but nice enough I guess. I even got a catchlight in her eye from somewhere!
