Ssshhhhh the local council think it's a croquet lawn and I don't want to spoil the surprise

First spot of the day - a song thrush quietly doing it's thing before the rush hour .
Stayed a good 5 mins.

Good to hear they are still about.

The song thrush visited again today, mid-morning. Both ate and drank, and bullied away the teenage blueys .

Song thrush yesterday which returned more confidently today - even at one point brought a little friend . Things are more advanced this year than last, I must say !!

I reckon song thrushes are brainier than blackbirds - no probs at all with the difficult puzzle of gaining access to the tasties inside the ground feeder cage which baffles some blackies on a regular basis .

Lovely bird to have in the garden placi. Not had one here for several winters now.

Strangely I was trying to guess earlier today when I last has a Throstle in my garden It turns out I can't remember
Well done Placi

Song thrush mid-morning having a glorious splashy bath in the water feature . A very enthusiastic bather with no regard to the amount of rainwater it was splashing over the side !!
S'pose it'll soon be filled up again
