Bullfinch is a lovely bird, a bit bigger than the sparrow.
Female is grey and black with distinctive white stripe on top of the tail. The
male is red and black instead; although same white stripe is present (bottom shot).
They are memorable species because of the distinctive whistling sound.
They come second in my ''Bird Collection'' folder so far. Not an impressive story that I could think of at first go, but it is impressive to gaze at them from the distance when they grab the bud, or fly around. Definitely cute ones!And what about the name?! Bullfinch - ain't it awesome?

Common Blackbird - Turdus Merula - ჩვეულებრივი შაშვი
Dear user,
First of all, I would like to thank you very much for spending your time here, on my blog.
It has now been some years that I am addicted to bird photography (I cannot really call it bird-watching, because my equipment is way too far from being any bird-watching one - an amateur camera (mostly; though now I got a good translucent, but not good enough lenses yet).
This is my first attempt to show you my bird shots. I will not deliver the scientific background about families, species, etc., but will just briefly mention my stories and feeling about particular shots; hoping you will enjoy them... So, here we go...
After sorting the photos into folders and folders, I found that my little collection starts with the Blackbird.
Blackbird is one of the sweetest-sounding one to me. Female Blackbird is brown-black (top image, I shot it in Paris). The male is all black with yellow beak (bottom image).
While shooting the second scene (bottom image), there was a black cat sneaking to catch the boy. It would allow animal to come to the final position, take the jump to attack and would take off while the cat was still in the air. Such a wonderful scene! The battle continued until the cat got really upset and left the battlefield - all defeated! :-)
