The Netherlands summer 2017: Thrushes and some more

One of the most common birds in this part of Europe: Blackbird (Merel, Turdus merula) can be seen in any garden. In July parents are busy feeding their young.

Like other black colored birds their feathers get a blue-greenish glow in the sunlight.

Another common Thrush: Song Thrush (Zanglijster, Turdus philomelus)
