it was good to see this song thrush or is it mistle as they are quite scarce and we lost our breeding pair from the garden
The Song Thrush is smaller than either a Mistle Thrush or Blackbird and is less upright when standing.

The sexes are similar with warm brown upper parts, pale buff underparts with dark speckles (which look like arrows pointing towards the head and are often arranged in lines) and a tinge of golden brown on the breast. The belly is almost white with fewer, smaller dark spots than the Mistle Thrush. They have relatively large eyes, as do Robins and other woodland ground feeding birds, and pale pink legs. The bill is brown in colour.

Unlike the Mistle Thrush, the Song Thrush usually flies low, below tree top height, from bush to bush.

The latest surveys suggest that the decline has at least levelled off and may even be reversing.
