Seeing through the song of a blackbird (Turdus merula). Very common here in North Italy during springtime, the blackbird has a really vast serie of verses on different pitches. I listen to them since years and I'm always amazed by their variety. Their singing makes the spring beautiful. Visuals created with Touchdesigner. I did the shooting/recording as well. #bird #blackbird #birdsong #touchdesigner #visual #realtime #datavisualization | Lucio Arese

My mam has a blackbird nesting in the garden and it laid eggs which have hatched this morning to reveal the baby chicks! We let the boys sneak in for a quick peek and then watched the mammy come and feed them for the next half an hour - was amazing to see! Isn’t nature amazing!?! | Sara Davies
