As you might already know, the blackbird is not really my favorite bird for taking pictures, but I really love it's voice. And since it is a very common bird it is easier to get some pictures and even a video of it. Another benefit for these birds is that they are pretty big and therefore don't flee on first sight when they encounter a human. In spring, it is even possible to take some nice videos of them singing on a tree. One Day a blackbird was sitting on one of the highest branches of the tree in front of my window, and it kept singing with its beautiful voice at least for 15 minutes. I had to take a video of it, and you can watch it in the bottom of this article.
