The bird of the year!

Every year a particular bird dominates both what we see and what we hear. Most of the time it is the wagtail that can been seen and heard all the time but this year I think the Common blackbird (Turdus merula) has played that role. I have not been able to find out where they got their nests but there have been and still are a lot of them. Many of them have spent time in our juniper bush eating its berries.
