Blackbird

This member of the thrush family is a common sight in the park and can often be seen on the grass hunting for insects, worms and other invertebrates. The species' name is somewhat misleading, as not all blackbirds are black. The name is in reference to the male bird, as a female blackbird is actually brown! Other distinguishing features include an orange beak and yellow eyering on the male, and a brown beak and eyering on the female. The blackbird is known for its beautiful song, which is a favourite among birders.
