The Blackbird (Turdud merula)

Blackbird

A Blackbird (Turdus merula) egg, I think? This one didn't make it to hatching, probably stolen and consumed by a predator. I didn't know Blackbirds will raise 3 broods a year, sometimes 4. You'd think you'd see more of them about, and if other birds reproduced as prolifically you'd think the canopies and sky would be packed with birds. It's not though, is it. That should be food for thought, really.
