i literally saw my little friend the local robin who sings his songs around my palheiro just now alighting to his spot on the tree out my window and start up his symphony

i have also noticed that sometimes i hear blackbirds starting to do the blackbird song, which is quite similar to the robin song, but blackbirds sound more crazy where the robins sound lie they are sad

last year at one point in the season there was intensive blackbird songs in the early morning, i guess it was after the newest generation grow big enough to get randy and chasing the girlies, and their population swells a lot around areas where a lot of grubs are available for them to dine on

i think blackbird song is a winter thing, or at least, autumn and spring

the robins have a different schedule, they seem to be the warm months and as it gets cold you don't hear them so much

it's pretty funny, i never knew this but blackbirds and robins actually originate from these islands out here in the atlantic, and along with canaries, are definitely a cluster of species with some definite common behaviours and genetics

i love the song birds, it's such a blessing to have them light up the atmosphere with their tittering
