Eurasian Blackbird (juvenile)

Eurasian Blackbird (juvenile) (Turdus merula)

Taken at the care home in the aftermath of a downpour, in front of rainwater cascading into a drain. The first Blackbird I've seen this year, believe it or not. When still at the flat I heard them, but they wouldn’t show.

Thank you for your comments, and good birding!
