Turdus merula
Common Blackbird, male
When I got my first binoculars in the late fifties we had a population under 20 000 pairs of Blackbirds in Finland. In those days more or less whole population migrated. Today their number is over 600 000 pairs and we have thousands of them in winter too. Quite a change due to climate change and increasing feeding of winterbirds.
