I rather hoped he'd be centre stage during the dawn chorus I shared with you yesterday - he was there but chose a position in the wings, letting others take lead vocals. However he apparently does requests and, sure enough, almost as soon as I'd published yesterday's post he was out there performing solo (almost) just for me - and for you too....
Little does he know that his song may now be heard all over the world.
Take care.
He has a lovely song. It rather reminds me of our Robins' song with a bit of a trill added.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, his song can be heard in many parts of the world now. I am here in Nashville, Tennessee, listening to it. A couple days ago as I was on my front porch (cannot walk outside) I could hear the song of a bird on the electric wire, and see him too, but I don’t know what type it was, not a blackbird though. There is nothing like listening to the song of a bird on a nice sunny day to forget the dreaded virus.
ReplyDeleteHe sings beautifully and has great talent. He now has more exposure than ever before. :) Thanks for sharing, John!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she liked the song!
ReplyDeleteHe’s very versatile! I’m impressed. I hope she like it.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, he was heard half a world away, and successfully messed with our cat's mind.
Round here (Shropshire) the dawn chorus is still a bit thin but Mr Blackbird alone sits high in the house conifer and let’s rip. Soon he will decide to come closer and sit on the eaves right outside my window.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how grim the world has become, the birds welcome the new freedoms.
What a beautiful song he sings. I love listening to him. I hope his partner loved the serenade.
ReplyDeleteSuch an intricate song.
ReplyDeleteOur red winged blackbirds are back and in great voice too.
I need to record the one who was serenading me at dusk
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birdsong from such a handsome bird.
ReplyDeleteI have one who comes to bathe daily - guess he has a lady somewhere in the trees, maybe on their nest!
Blackbird singing in the morning hours...what a beautiful voice he has.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed his song in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteLovely and so restful, he has quite a repertoire:)
ReplyDeleteHi John - he does sing so clear and true ... I'm sure he'll snare his beloved dull brown beauty! Blackbirds are fascinating and always around - we're lucky they love our gardens and have moved to join us. Take care - Hilary
ReplyDeleteI loved this. "The blackbird may be nothing to look at, but it is the only bird I know that sings from dawn to dusk and never repeats a tune."

Wonderful - one of the benefits of this lockdown has been just how wonderful it is to be able to hear all of the birds singing clearly again without any road traffic noise to contend with.
ReplyDeleteI think that centre stage at Carnegie Hall has been reserved for him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely song to hear this morning in North Carolina. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to hear John, enjoyed very much, merci beaucoup 💜
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you. I just love listening to the birds singing and calling to one another. You stay safe and have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird song!:))))
