Songthrush - psilos photography

A widespread resident bird which is sadly in decline. Once a common garden and farmland bird it is now rarely seen on a regular basis. It is smaller and browner than the Mistle thrush and is to be found in deciduous and coniferous woodland, hedgerows and bushes. It will also breed in gardens with suitable cover. Its diet consists of worms, fruit and snails which it breaks into by smashing them against a stone with a flick of the head.
