Ahh, the humble blackbird. A common garden visitor, this bird is often heard either singing its beautiful territorial song from high in the trees or chattering its alarm call at passersby. And also a personal favourite of mine, since our garden is often used as a crèche for the little ones as they learn what it takes to survive. Their familiarity brings me great comfort and it's easy to see why they keep making it onto the Top 10 Most Loves Birds of Britain!
To take this chap home there are two parameters that I will be judging. Firstly I will be judging your name choice, and how well it suits to character and/or appearance of the blackbird. Secondly, I want you to tell me how to tell the difference between an adult female blackbird and a juvenile one. After all, they have very similar markings and even I struggle sometimes!!!
