Yesterday whilst walking my dog the morning chorus was glorious, but no camera. This morning with camera it started from well in the foliage.
I had hoped for a thrush but the photo I suspect is a blackbird female. can you confirm?

Looks like a juvenile Starling - which would be an early one. Not a female Blackbird.
Perhaps post in the ID forum if you want more opinions.

It's a fledgling Starling (They show up in my garden first or second week in May, so not really that early)

Must be that town air Chris - mine are still in the box, and only hatched late last week.

It looks like a very young Starling to me Speedy. Great picture with fabulous focus, colors, detail, and background. Top-quality!!!
