Michael Hunter in his report on a visit to Paris mentioned that he wished
his Blackbirds at home sang as well as the French ones that he heard.
I moved to Australia from the UK 10 years ago and have yet to hear a
Blackbird sing anywhere close to as well as I was used to back in the "old
country".
Their song over here just never seems to really get going.I've asked a few
Aussies who've said that yes they do sing well here,but they haven't heard
an English Blackbird in full song. The question is why?
Are they longing for home?!
