In the last couple of weeks I've had male Blackbirds (Turdus merula) in the garden (Menai Bridge) with black bills, as well as one or two with the usual orange bill. What is the significance of the black bill, please? Are they youngsters?

John,
You surmised correctly, they are juveniles from this years batch.
