Song Thrush
Turdus philomelos
TR: Oter ardic

Identification:
Its brown plumage and speckled chest is typical of a thrush. It lacks the white eye stripes of a Redwing and so is most easily mistaken for a Mistle Thrush. The Song Thrush, however, is smaller, more neatly proportioned, with warm brown upperparts and a rather dark face. It lacks the white tips to the corners of the tail and the white edges to many of the wing feathers shown by a Mistle Thrush. The underwing coverts are clearly orange, but not as deep and red as in a Redwing, which is a potential source of confusion.

Habitat:
Breeds and winters in gardens, farmland, woodland and hedges.

Distribution:
Widespread and numerous in most of Europe, although in many areas of southern Europe they are restricted to hilly or mountainous regions.

Population:
14-18 million breeding pairs widespread across north-western Europe but rare in Spain, Italy and Greece. Finland, Germany, Sweden and Britain support the largest numbers.
