Song Thrush
Song Thrush / turdus philomelos. Cossington Canal, Nottinghamshire. 18/04/21.
Hard to believe Song Thrushes were everyday visitors to the garden many years ago. Sadly, not anymore as numbers have declined dramatically where I live.
This bird took me by complete surprise last April when it landed close tot the edge of a disused canal. In fact, it was too close to fit in the frame when it perched briefly before flying off to its nest.
This is a grab shot.. After it went I shifted position, hoping to make some better images if it returned. The wait lengthened, the light faded - it never came back.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
