    Blackbird Nest Tipped over, do I help?

    Hello! I’m new here but I’m desperate for some advice. I’m in Melbourne, Australia. Outside my bedroom window is a rose bush that a pair of blackbirds have nested in. The eggs hatched about 9-10 days ago. We’ve been watching the baby birds grow and the parent birds feeding them everyday. I...

    Eurasian (common) blackbird

    Blackbird, as introduced to Australasia, thus the specific naming. According to Wiki, placing "Eurasian" in front of blackbird is to benefit us in North America. What's hilarious is that this is basically just a black thrush. More interesting, although a bit of a digression, is that the American...

    Garden bird photobooth

    Just a little post to say hello and share a photo series that I photographed during lockdown in my north London garden. I set up a bird sized photo booth and patiently waited for 3 months to capture this series of 8 images. Birds would land in the 'studio' to eat some of the food I left out for...

    Blackbirds

    Dear kits, I liked your recent bb male picture so much that I asked my mum to send me her phone pics of "our" blackbirds. They enter the kitchen or even our living room when they do not find raisins on the terrace. My message is , "Do not mess with blackbirds." 😉

    Help with Blackbird and BirdNET issue?

    Hi, I have a recording here and BirdNET in Raven is detecting it as a Blackbird (with a low confidence score). I have never heard a blackbird make this type of call before, is this a mistake or do they produce this sound and why? Thanks in advance.

    The Quest Continues.

    I am moving forward with my quest to photograph garden birds in flight, instead of just having them sitting on a perch. I have recently bought a new remote sensor system. It is a LiDAR sensor from Cognisys, called the Sabre. It is fairly expensive, but great. It is similar to radar, but uses an...
