Song Thrush
Song Thrush / turdus philomelos. Derbyshire. 05/12/19.
For the first time ever this summer I managed to make some images of Song Thrushes. All of them were birds on grass collecting earthworms for their young. As soon as they flew up into trees, they were lost from view behind dense foliage.
This latest image is another achievement, showing a perched bird in a Rowan. The bird suddenly flew in and landed, no doubt attracted by the comings and goings of eight Blackbirds and up to three Mistle Thrushes. Unlike them though, it sat motionless and didn’t feed. It’s a pity that it chose an overcast morning to make it’s debut, though I’m not complaining. A start has been made and there’s always another day, preferably sunnier, (as long as the berries last)!
