Rabbit in "Company Of A Blackbird" by Amanda Clark

You can make life much easier for blackbirds by mulching your flower beds with leaf-litter, keeping your lawn mown, planting fruiting shrubs and trees (especially dense, thorny ones) and planting climbers against walls

The common blackbird is a species of true thrush. It is also called Eurasian blackbird, or simply blackbird where this does not lead to confusion with a similar-looking local species.

My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” ~George Eliot Le Merle Noir, illustration by Leo Paul Robert from ‘Les Oiseaux dans la Nature,’ by Eugene Rambert.

We never tire from listening to the song of the Blackbird, morning or night.
