The Blackbird

The blackbird is one of our most familiar birds. It is a member of the thrush family. The male is black with a yellow beak. Female and young blackbirds are brown. They often come into our gardens in search of worms or apples. The Irish name for a blackbird is lon dubh. Their song is very rich and fluty. We often see a blackbird on the school pitch or in the fairgreen
