Vulnerability

A recently fledged Blackbird Chick - wondering who I am. Snapped with my mobile phone.

 

The Blackbird - Turdus merula, is one of the most prolific of uk birds as it has adapted to live happily in woodland and house gardens. The female is the sole nest builder which takes about 11-14 days to make and will incubate the eggs but the cock bird will help feed his offspring. The pair will produce 2-3 broods a year and the youngsters fledge after 13-14 days. The song of the blackbird is delightful and will sing for hours.
