Eurasian Blackbird, Vietnam (1 Viewer)

[Andy Adcock]

Sorting my World list and found a record of Eurasian Blackbird at Cuc Phuong, Vietnam.

The exact record states 'Eurasian Blackbird Turdus merula Daily at Cuc Phuong with a maximum of 3 birds together on the grass at Bong.'

My problem here is that Vietnam doesn't seem to be in range so I presume they would be T. mandarinus but Vietnam is not described in the range for this either, range for this is stated to be East and Central China?

Chinese Blackbird winters to Indochina Andy, south to C Annam in Vietnam. Vagrants have occurred as far south as Langkawi Is. (Malaysia) and Singapore.
