Bucktonbirder: Estonian Blackbird

Estonian Blackbird - from the archives

Found this 1st winter male Blackbird lurking in the bottom of the garden in late January 2005, amazingly it was wearing an Estonian ring (ESTONIAN MATSALV). It spent the winter with us and moved off in March presumably when it headed back east.
