Song Thrush
The past couple of days a Song Thrush has been singing nearby every dawn and dusk. It is especially nice to see and hear them as they are on the RSPB red list of species whose numbers have diminished greatly. Even at -1C this morning we were greeted with its easily recognisable repertoire of repeated though varied songs. This somewhat wobbly clip was taken as the Sun was setting yesterday.

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite songsters is the Song Thrush! Like you, I very rarely have one in the garden, a sad state of affairs that this lovely little bird is disappearing.

Song Thrush, Blackbird and Robin - all great to hear.
DeleteNot only a great song.....but a very arty video. One of your best.
ReplyDeleteNature's art this time Adrian. Pure luck there was a colourful sunset behind the bird throwing it into silhouette.
Deletea most beautiful sound of spring!
ReplyDeleteTWG: Dawn and dusk are very noisy with bird song now. Roll on Spring weather.
DeleteA beautiful singer John. He always sounds like he's giving 100%, and dying to please with his repertoire.
ReplyDeleteI was watching three this morning, all in close proximity around the lake. Beautiful sounds.
Thank you John I enjoyed that, my favourite bird to hear. I personally think the song of the Blackbird is more beautiful, but that of the Song Thrush is just so jubilant and rather comical I think....I love it! Sadly I don't hear or see them anywhere as much as I used to.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jan, about the Blackbird song but as you say the Song Thrush gives its all and nearly deafens me at times. Twenty to thirty years ago every Summers day would be filled with the sound of thrushes bashing snails on the concrete path - now it is a rare event.
ReplyDeleteThat video was beautiful, the pink sky and that fantastic song were lovely. I love this time of year when all the birds start singing again.
