An English lawn is not the same without an occasional Blackbird.

The blackbird is a member of the thrush family.

The adult male is very easy to recognize - glossy black with an orange beak and rings around the eyes. The female is dark brown, sometimes slightly mottled, with a brown beak.

Juveniles are usually a more reddish brown and slightly mottled.

The male is on the left, the female on the right.

Thousands of spectators young and old turned out in the sunshine to watch this year's Trooping the Colour. It marks the Queen's official birthday - she actually turned 82 on 21 April.

After the parade, royals gathered on the balcony at Buckingham Palace to watch the flypast.

Women were out in force for Ladies Day at Epsom. While clouds loomed, there was a shower of colour from the fashions on the field, and colourful jockeys on the horses.
