Still geographically confused (Turdus merula)

And European Blackbirds???? And both House and Tree Sparrows???? The first birds I saw were all introduced species brought there by homesick settlers, now thriving since the settlers also reshaped much of the landscape from native scrub to lawns, heavily grazed meadows, monoculture grain fields, and British parks and gardens.

I remember on my first trip to Australia, one of the first birds I saw was a blackbird, but I'm sure more real New Zealand birds must have followed. Great photo though, many tfs!!!
