Blackbird Singing at Dusk 

Perfect! With the 'moving' moon a great composition...

It was around 3 am in Espoo FInland. I heard loud bird going on chirrping outside. Went on the balcony, it was dark. Silence...then the bird went on again. I managed to see clear contours of a dark middle-sized bird sitting on the edge of the roof of opposite house. The song was loud but really beautiful. It was middle of February... I had no idea what bird it could have even been at this time of night at this time of year. Did some research. Listened to many songs. Think, this is Blackbird... can´t think of anything else it could have been.

well done midmarsh, i love the way you did the moon with the blackbird overlay, it looks so real, and a bit spooky, and the blackbird sings so clear and he has a wonderful song !!!

I wonder what he's saying? So many different sounds and inflections.

Beautiful sound. One of my favourite British bird songs.

I think that was a dunnock

Thanks for uploading the beautiful vdeo

These birds are closely related to our N. American Robin. The call is similar and when we were in England I noticed their behavior was similar (flight, gait, etc). Neat!

was there a wren in competition near the beginning? how someone can actively hit the *dislike* for this is beyond me

thanks my sister for your wonderful sharing !! kisses SYL your sister .
