Rusty Blackbirds at the CF
Nice Rusty Blackbird show this afternoon along the path by the Pirie-Mayhood Tower and Allendale Brook, rooting through leaf litter. A bit skittish.
Even got a shot of a female puffed up, bathing. That may be a reason she's rusty.
Plus an America Coot. The Bleted Kingfigher is hanging around as well.

She is a pretty one! Very nice shot, a bathing beauty. I had a nice Hermit Thrush yesterday near the WW. Always a nice surprise at the CF!
