Song Thrush

Sitting in bed late with a cup of coffee and watching the bird show play out in the garden.

There are a pair of song thrush foraging for snail snacks in the fallen leaves. 

They are pretty to look at with their cream plump bellies decorated with smudgy chocolate speckles. 

The next act is musical - up high in a branch. It's a cheerful and musical song. This thrush isn't shy, his song is loud and noticeable and his range is wide. We hear all sorts of fluting notes, thrills and warbles.

The thrush are joyful and bright on the dull winter morning. It's a 2 coffee morning and we don't rush to get up.
