This is a video of a blackbird singing.
This morning on the balcony, two male blackbirds, one female and a wood-pigeon at the same time.
Later, two female blackbirds together.
So, at least four blackbirds visit the balcony.

There seems to be a variety of birds around, I can even hear also a peacock in the background!
The video is from Slovakia. Probably, there are peacocks there as well.
Beautiful sounds!
Yes, the blackbird was voted the favourite songbird in the Netherlands:
