Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night

[jacey]

It's 3.20 a.m. and a blackbird has just started warbling in the holly tree outside my office window. The first of the season.

Time for bed, i think

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Blackbirds are not sensible. Ours like to do what I think is the tango on our roof (we sleep in the attic, effectively). I hope you slept okay.

I wonder whether he was late for the evening chorus or early for the dawn?

I have noticed a lot more warbling outside the window of a morning recently. Can spring be far away?

I'm not sure. We often have a bird - just one - that warbles in that tree all night long. He's quite loud and obnoxious - except you can't dislike hoim for it. This has been going on for years now. Not sure if it's one bird or if they have a rota.

I presume it's a blackbird, anyway, yu can't really see him and I listened to the bird-call tracks available on the web and... I think it is.
