Here is Vipoelo himself! I first heard him 27 april. My self made lego ramp and Tascam help me achieve getting his song :). He loved to go between this and someones apple tree in garden, so had to do multiple visits to get enough song.

He sometimes sang very high up in the tree. Glad they are loud usually so my Tascam gets naiss audio of them!

And here is Vebiir-ju himself! He sang always in the middle part of graveyard where I always recognized him by the "Vjeebo, veBIIR-ju, rha viu viu" I name birds inspired from song so that also is a hint who is who ;)

Here is Kibilo sparkling and trying to shoo other blackbird away from territory. 22 March. Sometimes they sparkle while doing this, othertime they just are alone, walk on branch and sparkle. #Birds #FlackoWeasel #commonblackbird

Here I saw how Kibilo was sparkling. They do it always at the VERY beginning of the singing season and 2 weeks later not anymore! They stay still or walk like a raptor on the branch while going through their sound test. Its very interesting behavior! #Birds #Commonblackbird #FlackoWeasel

Another Kibilo video! I met him mostly every day + other blackbirds and kept eye on how my bird friends were doing. here I made lego ramp for my tascam and using long lego sticks to get Clippy em272 higher. It works like a charm

And another one! This time he was much lower on the branch. They can be tricky to record sometimes as i NEVER know when it decides to go elsehwere or alarm call off. It is usually constant following them and hoping it stays still while singing

2nd video of Jerilo and how I record them usually. Tascam on a tripod with self made furry thing on. He loved singing on that location! Some blackbirds sing very high up on tree, others few meters only.

Here is Jerilo itself <3. Video is not very good because it was getting dark and they love singing mostly during dusk. Best time to record them IMO, when other birds are gone to zzz

Kibilo alarm calling. They can alarm call for other BB too or when its their time to zz. That always means that this evening singing is over when its "duk duk" and "pit pit" time and have to retry next evening. Went visiting them for over 3 months. #FlackoWeasel #Birds #Commonblackbird

When You learn specific blackbird parts from individual bird and know where he is, you always know who is who. Some of his sparkles were also very distinctive, such as the "PisRIIdu" "Vi-dodo-Vi" Video 3 #birds #FlackoWeasel #Commonblackbird

I always knew where he was because of his song. Always at the edge of the graveyard. Thats how songs help to ID the birds, each bird has their own pattern. Video 2 #birds #CommonBlackbird #FlackoWeasel

But I sometimes cannot find the parts yet from icterine warbler song, cause they are also random! BirdNET tells me that "Dabuuta" is IW mimicry. Other time I add same sound variant and it gives totally different outcome. That's what confuses me.

These visual onomatopoeias help me notice shared samples SO much faster! In this video You hear 17 different BRWs do rhythms in their unique way! You can hear how each bird has their own take on these parts, making each one of a kind <3

BRWs winter in the South Asia area so if BirdNET gives me USA birds or Mexico ones, they do not help at all. It has to be the areas shown here in Green (breeding) and blue (non breeding)

I love how splatty Eu nuthatch "duitt" mimicry sounds! I am always puzzled at the "rhavirhavi" part, it is so distinctive and many BRWs share this exact sample but I cannot find any info to who this amazing mimicry belongs to. It has to be a bird from South asia area.

Here is another amazing talented rhythm keeping and progressively changing the melody on the go! At first he keeps repeating one rhythm and then starts to slowly modify it by adding 3 samples (Hii-da, fhÜÜÜüü and Rhh) into the mix! I LOVE THESE BIRDS!
