Spotted by
The Common Blackbird is a familiar and widespread thrush, instantly recognizable by the male's glossy black plumage and vibrant orange bill and eye-ring. Females are duller, often dark brown.
Where to spot
Extremely widespread across Europe and Asia, and introduced to Australia and New Zealand. It thrives in diverse habitats, including gardens, parks, woodlands, and urban areas.
How to spot
Easily spotted foraging on lawns, in flowerbeds, or among shrubs. Listen for its iconic rich, varied, and melodic song, as well as its distinctive alarm calls, a sharp 'chink' or 'tchook-tchook-tchook'.
When to spot
Observable throughout the year. It is most active and vocal during the breeding season from early spring to mid-summer, when males sing frequently to establish territories and attract mates.
