What a nice setting for it!

Certainly the colour stands out against the black. Wonder if its song is as musical and mellow as that sung the all-black British blackbird; yet can be a very noisy bird towards the end of a winter's day.

Made me think of the Beatles song ~ "Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise..." Well shot!
