  1. Nice - lots of personality comes through in this one. Were you using lights? or is that nice catchlight in his eye the sky? Posted 10 years ago

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.
