Description This may just be a blackbird, but it sings outside our window every morning giving us a lovely(!) very early wake up call. It also sings every evening in the same spot so thought it apt to capture and share it.

got a few of these around our area and in my garden, lovely song though, nice to hear when you're walking the dog!

Nice capture! Shame the ones here are too flighty for a decent shot!

yeah, they do lighten up the day when they sing.

Thank you, indeed they can be quite active marking their territory!

I couldn't agree more about their lovely singing! They aren't known for exotic appearance but blackbirds sure can sing. Just met one the other day whose song was absolutely captivating. I even managed to snap a few good shots of it

thanks, hehe, yes it's a little early to be woken up but at least it's not something like a hammer drill!
