Hi katastrofa

Now I know where the blackbirds color comes from, they are eating those black beetles that you showed us in your other picture :)))

Ha ha! They dig furiously in the soil looking for worms, and when startled fly away making an enormous racket. Much louder than the urban Blackbirds we have in London.
