Blackbird Webcam

About the 'Beleef de Lente' Project

The live webcams are provided thanks to the generous support of the Vogelbescherming Netherlands project 'Beleef de Lente' (you can spot the organization’s emblem in the broadcasts). Throughout the spring, the project receives backing from donations and volunteer efforts.

Blackbirds are a common sight in gardens as they hop across lawns turning over leaves looking for food. Medium sized, slightly larger than a Starling, the male Blackbird is easy to identify with its jet black plumage and bright yellow beak. The female is a similar size, still with the bright yellow beak but dark brown in colour with a mottled throat and chest. Juveniles are similar to the female but with more mottling on throat and chest and a dark bill.
