Sequence (#T1ab): Abb.566/ Abb.567
Birds "blackbirds" in which irregular (drop-shaped) patches of white feathers have mutated in New Zealand - i.e. patches whose drop-shape resembles the appearance of human skin cancer called "melanoma". One can see these white feather patches best if the above photos are enlarged. Until the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, all blackbirds in New Zealand were all black and had only black feathers. However, after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, blackbirds - and other previously all-black birds - e.g., see Img.570 (#T2) with patches of white feathers began to appear in increasing numbers in New Zealand. Both photos shown above show a blackbird that I managed to photograph on the sports field of the Peton rugby club (this field is separated only by a street from the recreational area. However, the blackbird from these top photos is NOT the only mutated such bird that lives in Petone. For example, a similarly mutated black blackbird, only that with as many as several small patches of white feathers on its head, neck, breast and both sides, some two years ago was born somewhere in a nest not far from my apartment and now, like its entire family, often flies to my miniature garden to feed on earthworms caught there - which worries me significantly, because it means that my garden is probably also already splashed with radioactivity. (Of course, I myself strenuously protect this garden from everything that is harmful and within my control, i.e. from all chemicals, artificial fertilizers, etc.).
However, due to the small size of my garden, which is less than the safety distance that wild and skittish blackbirds allow people to get close to, the first photographs of my backyard mutant blackbird, shown in "c" and "d" below, I only managed to take on October 30, 2015. This is because every time I saw it in weather conditions conducive to photography, and left the apartment with my camera, the blackbird took to the air and fled. However, although spotting, approaching without scaring, and qualitatively acceptable photographing blackbirds is NOT easy at all when one has only a camera that I can afford, of course I will "not rest on my laurels now", and I will continue my efforts to photographically document both the above, and still other, blackbirds (and other black birds) that have already mutated. After all, if in New Zealand, located "at the end of the world", the irresponsibility of humanity has already managed to so wreak havoc with nature that blackbirds are mutating here, one can imagine how dire the situation with nature (and with people living off of it) must be in countries located at the outlets from the "anuses" of sloppily designed, built and operated nuclear reactors - that is, practically in all countries from the entire northern hemisphere of the Earth. So it's high time to start "sounding the alarm" on this issue and to strongly demand that governments shut down all nuclear reactors.
In turn, because blackbirds are birds which have perfectly adapted to life in even the most densely built-up cities, I recommend the reader to also check himself (and photograph - if possible) whether some of these birds have already mutated patches of white feathers and in his locality. In turn, if YES, then the reader will have an eye-witness warning and confirmation that the life and health of himself and those closest to him are also already threatened by a place already heavily speckled with the fallout of deadly radioactivity. (Of course, I would be happy to publish such photos of the reader with his locally mutated blackbirds.) Furthermore, I would also recommend that, in order to "realize and protect himself and his loved ones", the reader should try to repeat similar to mine research and estimations of the local density of drops of scorching and mutating radioactive rain falling in his locality.

A photograph of a mutated black blackbird taken on September 17, 2015 at the Peton Rugby Club's sports field. This blackbird has mutated one large patch of white feathers covering the entire upper half of its head. Note that I captured this blackbird here at a time when it was already alarmed by my approach and was preparing to flee, and also note that in addition to this blackbird, two other blackbirds are also searching for earthworms on the same sports field at a slightly further distance.

Taken a few steps earlier, another photograph of the same mutated black blackbird from the Peton rugby club's sports field. In this photograph, the blackbird does NOT yet feel threatened by me, hence it continues to search for earthworms. Since I first published a photo of this mutated blackbird here on October 18, 2015, I have made a number of trips to this sports field again later, hoping to find the same blackbird there and manage to photograph it from a shorter distance. Unfortunately, on those trips I did not find even once on that field either that blackbird or any other blackbird or even any bird. So I guess that in the meantime probably the surface of this pitch was treated with some kind of chemicals - just like people do it over-enthusiastically in present times of carelessly spilling poisons wherever they can. After all, only the poisons spilled on this playground are capable of effectively wiping out any birds, which either immediately died off or find inedible everything that can be found on it these days.
