Song lark or something else?

Saw this bird watching me this afternoon but not sure what it is.  It was in the shadows in the trees but did manage to capture some colour.

Had a big one last night , I think it's a blackbird

See it!  Hear it!

Really? It's not very black smiley but I guess it could be.

I didn't have a big night, but I would say  young male blackbird. (look at the yellow ring around the eye) I haven't seen any young yet, and I'm happy if I don't.

definitely a Common Blackbird. Kathie, check your bird ID books if you have any. Only the adult males are pure black with an orange eye-ring and bill!

Thanks Windhover.  All my books are old. I use the database here as my best thing to check.
