A Blackbird

Blackbird, Fortezza Nuova, Livorno
Seagulls “own” the recently reopened Fortezza Nuova: this blackbird is one of the few exceptions.

    Looks like there is plenty to eat for the blackbird too.
    I love your animal pictures.

    We also have these birds around. They chase crows away, so perhaps they also handle seagulls.

    Only a brave bird steals from gulls.

    Are they as messy as gulls?
    I bet not.

    I'd much prefer blackbirds and their beautiful song to pigeons...

    I love seeing them. We had a family that nested in my MiL's yard this year.

    Wonderful capture! Blackbirds are quite common here too.
