Adult male blackbird

The blackbird is one of Britain’s most common birds. They can be seen digging for insects and worms gardens and parks.
Blackbirds are sexually dimorphic, meaning the male and female plumage are different. Male blackbirds have jet-black feathers and a bright yellow beak, whereas females are dark brown in colour.
The song of the blackbird is arguably the best-loved of any British bird with a beautiful mellow tone. Blackbirds typically sing after rainfall.
