Blackbird

Audio:

Zang (Herman van der Meer, www.xeno-canto.org )

Alarmroep (K.Deoniziak, www.xeno-canto.org )

The song of the Blackbird is widely known, if only because the Beatles sang about it. The one loves it for its beauty, the other hates it, because it will wake you at 5.00 am in the morning.
