I'm tired of pigeons and seagulls, so when I saw this blackbird in “Piazza del Municipio” I was quite happy.
In Italian “merlo” (blackbird) is something like a fool or an easily conned guy.

This bird is no fool. He knows a good photographer when he sees one.
nice capture. he looks like he's enjoying himself hehehe
And it is a lovely blackbird. Are you sure it isn't a seagull in disguise?
Wow! I like both pictures and I like the bird, but that first one is Art with a capital A in my book any time any place. Bravo!
I like this bird.!
I think it is a darned nice blackbird and it doesn't look like a seagull at all. MB
Le merle, suo bellissimo canto (this is all very rusty!) Strange that it became such an expression!
I love them, couple of them live in my garden and wake me up pretty early:)
Have a nice weekend!
I LOVE that first photo! What a great angle and pose!
Wish I could share your joy in seeing this bird; they too often steal from our feeder. Clever, tho, since they perch on top of the shepherd's crook, shaking it vigorously to knock the seed on the ground. Otherwise they would not be able to get seed from the feeder which is designed to keep squirrels and large birds away.
Can't stand these birds(is that a sin?)! Always in everybody's business. Ha!
He's a beauty! I like that color in the background of your first shot.
Seems like Merlo caught on that you were shooting for him in the second photo ;-D
It's got attitude!
God bless you!

There are so many around my house and I have just realized they don't sleep at night as other birds do. Melro also in portuguese.
They are singing outside my bedroom as I'm typing this. Known as Koltrast in Swedish.
The top photo is stunning.
