Гнездование чёрного дрозда в Ханты-Мансийском автономном округе

We provide a summary of all records of Blackbird Turdus merula in the Khanty-Mansiysk autonomous district (Russia). The East European subspecies T. m. merula is penetrating West Siberia from the European part of Russia. The east border of the breeding range of this subspecies went through the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions whereas currently, it is shifting further north and east. In 2021 and 2022, we found for the first time 3 Blackbird nests in the vicinity of Khanty-Mansiysk. The previous easternmost breeding site of the species recorded in 2016 was located on the west border of the Tyumen region which is almost 500 km southwest of the sites that we have found.
