Song Thrush


Song Thrush .......Turdus philomelos
I went out hoping to find a Marsh Tit or two. Unfortunately they were absent along with the Coal Tits.
Still all was not lost as the Song Thrush was a new visitor to the Hard Rock Cafe.

    Always a welcome visitor. Not as common as they once were.

    What an image. This may sound dumb but is there an easy way to differentiate between a Song Thrush and a Mistle Thrush?

    A beautiful bird the Song Thrush. Like Keith says, there aren't as many as they were.

    Hello Keith.
    I am sure that applies to a number of our birds...Skylarks Sparrows Etc. New farming methods,woodland clearing and all soughts of modern factors are responsible for the decline of a lot of our birds.

    Hi Adrian.
    Not easy until you have seen a few.
    The Mistle Thrush is larger....not much help really.
    The grey brown upperparts are probably the best way along with rounded spots rather than the arrowheads of the Song Thrush.
