Song Thrush – Turdus philomelos

As can be seen from this picture,
thrushes are delightful aquatic birds, often swimming for eels (enough! – Ed)
Ok, ok. This one was bathing in
the shallows of the Porter Brook.
It’s the only decent picture of a thrush I’ve got, mainly because their numbers
are in serious decline,
due to intensive farming reducing habitat and the use of pesticides cutting
down on food.
As with the blue tit, keep checking for better pictures.
