| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The picture shows a blackbird pecking at the red berries of a rowan tree (sorbus aucuparia).
In Italy, this tree is known as "sorbo dell'uccellatore", that literally means "sorbus of the bird hunters", because the birds, attracted by the red berries, stand on the berry-bunches and are easily shot by the hunters. |

You’ve seized the moment nicely here, Roberto. The colors are good, and I like that juxtaposing of the black bird, with his yellow beak, against the red berries. Your focus is a little soft, but the image is pleasing.
Regards,
Jim
