About The Blackbird, Common Blackbird or Eurasian Blackbird (Turdus merula) is a species of true thrush which breeds in Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and has been introduced to Australia and New Zealand. It has a number of subspecies across its large range; a few of the Asian subspecies are sometimes considered as full species. Depending on latitude, the Blackbird may be resident, partially migratory or fully migratory.

The male of the nominate subspecies, which is found throughout most of Europe, is all black except for a yellow eye-ring and bill and has a wide range of vocalisations; the adult female and juvenile have mainly brown plumage. This species breeds in woods and gardens, building a neat, mud-lined, cup-shaped nest. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms, berries, and fruits.

Just took this one last Sunday,
so cute and colourful!!
I always try to listen in the morning,
they have this very special sound...

Spring is in the air...enjoy:)) xxJen

Great colours Jen.

The eggs are nice and bright, but I get the impression that you shot this in low light with a flash. Was that the case?
All the best,
Ed

How surprising dear Bobot, I did just the same,
singing this song when I saw our Dutch 'merel' is
called Black Bird, they have this special, happy
sound, and I can tell exactly when they are
threathned by cats and other enemies outside, I
used to go out of my bed to chase the cats
away..loll. just in my pyama's running outside
barefeet:)) Can you see it? Well, thats me...:))
Be well, xxJen

Actually I am wondering why I never saw these coloured eggs before, as the black bird is very
common here, we all have them in our gardens;)
Yes I did climb some, you have to take some risks
sometimes..loll
Will be careful, thank you for caring, hug Jenxx

Do agree with you dear John, these colours didnt seem to fit with a common black bird I thought, also too easy for cats and other nasty birds to find them! To be honest we dont think the little ones will survive as the nest is to easy to grab...don't want to see that:((
Be very well and txs;)) Jenxx

Thanks so much dear Ben, I had to be very careful not to disturb the eggs and mom, otherwise I would have loved to lay them more in the middle..loll
The colours amazed me, this blue with those black spots, wouldn't expect this.....
Hugs Jenxx

Morning mr. Rif;) I wish they would ask for some
shots, although this one I'me not sure of, had to climb to get a better view, was quite funny:))

Hoping you enjoy your day, hugs and kiss, Jenxx

Blackbird
Lennon/McCartney

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
