Is this really a blackbird?Monday, March 27, 2006

I'm still finding it difficult identifying this thrush. Is this really a blackbird? With a yellow beak and eye ring it is unlikely to be a female...surely.

 

Can anyone help.

I have posted the pics on the site but you can also view the images at

Hi Andrew, there has been discussion of your bird on Surfbirdsnews group. General consensus is that it is a Blackbird but possibly birds of eastern populations exhibit superciliums and colder greyer breasts. You can join and read archives here:
