All,

We have a bird which looks very like a slightly dark female blackbird
which
happily eats its way through apples that we put out for our blackcap
warblers.

This seems to be a single bird which does this (or perhaps it's just
the
females) and never having seem a fruit loving blackbird before we
tried long
and hard to find another bird which it might be, but with no success.

So do other readers know of such behaviour or have suggestions what
this
bird might be if it's not a blackbird?

Cheers,
Paul DS.

Yes they do eat apples. This site fully explains their behaviour.
