Male Blackbird stashing supplies - II, Hoenderloo
It's a busy month for blackbirds, both males and females stash their beaks full of food and nest material. This male has found itself an earwig, some spiders including its web, and some twigs. And that's just one of many loads.
The Common Blackbird is a species of true thrush. It is also called Eurasian Blackbird, or simply Blackbird, where this does not lead to confusion with a similar-looking local species. It breeds in Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and has been introduced to Australia and New Zealand.
