Song Thrush

Thursday a Song Thrush was singing from before 6.30 in the morning until at least 7.30 p.m. with a few breaks. Often it was in the top of a tree near my back door which was when I managed to photo and video it.

It stopped singing for a short period while three House Sparrows were having a noisy argument.

  4. I actually love the spotted breast that many of the thrushes have. It must have worn itself out with all that singing.

  5. Good shooting John. They are usually so high up you can barely see them at the moment.
