Met Kibilo on 10th march - still shy with singing, but this time got around 2 meters close to him! He sounds loud from Tascam, but he itself doesn't sing at 100% volume yet! I heard new blackbird when heading home. Can't wait to hear new blackbird song pattern! #Birds #FlackoWeasel

Kibilo is still very shy, whisper singing at first and then putting more volume. He has been singing since 5th March and I visit him everyday to see how his song is going and to spot other blackbirds appearing! I always find him by the "I'm a barbie girl" melody #birds #FlackoWeasel

Sorry meant "Tsiiip" call

Kibilo flew there after sparkling and 3 of em stood like this for many minutes and then left. Only sound i heard was the "srrit!"

4th day and like a clockwork, Kibilo is there! This time he activated 16:42. Sung until 18:00 then started sparkling and then he had some land talk with other blackbirds and the singing time was over today. He sung MUCH lower today too but he still was singing at 40% volume #birds #FlackoWeasel

Can't wait to go out to see how Kibilo is doing and get more songs. So many human made sounds was last time and I need more song so I dont lose much recording to noisy cars and planes. I also heard 2nd blackbird activate. Interested to see his song pattern!

Not Kibilo (Was different location) But another common blackbird whisper singing #birds #commonblackbird #flackoweasel

Kibilo the blackbird! 3rd evening and he is so much louder now! He went a bit lower too on the tree so I could get better audio #birds #Commonblackbird #FlackoWeasel #birdsong

I am talking about common blackbirds (Turdus merula :) )

Yaaay 3rd time visited Kibilo the blackbird :). He was so much louder today! #birds #FlackoWeasel #Commonblackbird

Its blackbird time!!

Unique parts on Kibilo in 2026! When I hear these ones, I know ASAP it is the same bird! This is how I am able to ID each blackbird by a song, I put aside unique parts and remember them :). When I hear bird do IRL specific amount of em, its same one! #birds #Commonblackbirds #FlackoWeasel

yes

Met my friend again! I visit daily to see how he is doing up until May 1st! He was much louder today and sung longer too. Still not 100% loud. Bunch of revisits to catch all his song journey! I still think this guy is Kibilo, some sounds are very specific! #birds #FlackoWeasel #commonblackbird

I will go daily visiting them until May 1st so get as many blackbirds as I can :)

The furry tufts I self made as I needed wind shields. I made these for each on my Tascam as well and it has saved MANy recordings. Wind 5m/s and having the furry thing on saved a recording! I remember I rushed home and sewed 2 of them ASAP when I realised wind was stronger. #birds #FlackoWeasel

Part 2!
Gorillapods are HUGE help omg! (pic 3) They have saved SO many recordings, its like a hand what can grab. I can add my recorder to trees, bushes, thinner brances etc. Many bird recordings this little tool has helped! When bird sings more ground level, I use my LEGO ramp #birds

This is how I record my birds! I self built this LEGO ramp around my Tascam to be able to move it diagonally, up, front etc! Has been SOO helpful! The long stick is just extension to extend Clippy closer to the bird when the ramp is on the ground. 2nd pic I used foam ramps back then. part1 #birds

Looks like its not accidental at all! This "barbie girl" melody is in the blackbird song pattern, he uses it often! OMG so happy I have finally found my own "Barbie thrush!" Daily visiting him!
I am aware image has a layering error, yaaay human error! Genuine! #birds #commonblackbird #FlackoWeasel

EDIT: It's not accidental! I noticed when I listened my audio through, he did it quite often so it is something he likes to do! I did not hear the melody back then but now I did and spotted it alot. I recognized him singing yesterday too because of that melody, but he didn't sing much :C.

Kibilo? The Common Blackbird 2026 YouTube video by FlackoWeasel

The shy blackbird is here! I need MORE of him to know is this Kibilo or not! Some parts are VERY specifically Kibilo 2025 like!

Thank you! I can't wait for 2026!

but when it happens, I have infinity dopamine rush! Doot-doot was my fav in 2024 because of his unique song! These are my fav types to record, I call them "magical" :). They have different lyrics than classical ones and stand out ASAP

Them and blyth's reed warblers are quite brave birds at night. Most of the time I get near them and they still sing after I retrieve my recorder 1h later :). Maybe 2 birds out of 60 I have recorded flew away from me. I love the rare versions who's songs are VERY unique! I don't get these often here

I heard the blackbird again and only part i heard vividly was the "I'm a barbie girl" melody, but when I tried to reach him, he became quiet. Quite bummed :C. I hope he is back tomorrow and I can meet him again. I heard more blackbirds were making sounds! #birds #FlackoWeasel #commonblackbird

Most sounds arent used during singing, so when they sparkle, I hear many one off sounds and variants I don't hear any other time but that. Each new blackbird who starts to sing will sparkle! #birds
