Young male blackbird. When fully mature, the beak will have become yellow/orange.

Maresa - They are very common where we live in England and in southern Scotland - a bit of a pest even. It may be that the further north you go in Scotland, the less well adapted thy are to the climate.

Is it a UK bird? I was looking at a couple UK bird identifiers online and neither of them seems to want to give me an all black bird in that size.

I think it was a UK bird, but we are new here so I'm not sure if it was migrating or local.
