One more 4 #ThrushRushThursday Looked out my window and saw that me and one of the local Common Blackbirds (Turdus merula) were having lunch at the same time. 😀🥣 #BirdingHungary #thrushes #blackbirds

Here's a ♀️ Common Blackbird... this one a bit paler around the throat than is typical. I figured if I stared at it long enough, it would turn into a Red-throated Thrush but damn! It just didn't work! 😂😂😂 #BirdingHungary #thrushes #ThrushRushThursday

Another portrait of a ♂️ Common Blackbird (Turdus merula) outside my window. They look so great this time of year with their fresh breeding plumage coming in. Glossy black with a carrot for a beak. 😄 #BirdingHungary #ThrushRushThursday

Every morning, I put out a few apples for the #thrushes With all the cold and snow, the Blackbirds (Turdus merula) are going crazy on them. Five whole apples will be gone in an hour. 😄 #BirdingHungary #ThrushRushThursday

♂️ Common Blackbird getting his bling on. The expression on his face is like, "Hurray up and finish, will ya?" 😄 But seriously, ringing is extremely stressful for the birds. Only for a few minutes, but they must feel like they are going to die. 😱 #BirdingHungary #thrushes #ThrushRushThursday
