Blackbird
The Blackbird or Common Blackbird (Turdus merula) is a European member of the thrush family Turdidae.It is common in woods and gardens over all of Europe and much of Asia south of the Arctic Circle. Populations are resident except for northern birds which move south in winter (Clement and Hathaway, Thrushes ISBN 0-7136-3940-7). Urban males are more likely to overwinter in cooler climes than rural males, an adaptation made feasible by the warmer microclimate and relatively abundant food that allow the birds to establish territories and start reproducing earlier in the year. The Blackbird is 23.5 to 29 cm in length. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insectsearthworms, seeds and berries. It nests in bushes or similar, laying several (usually 4) bluish- green-grey eggs with brown reddish marks in a neat cup-shaped nest.
