Last night on my midnight commute I heard a nightingale (I think) and then this afternoon a mistle thrush was singing her heart out in the rain!

A good 24hrs for bird listening

I think this is a Mistle Thrush? A very Bet Lynch plumage. The worm is gross, soz. #ignorantbirding #birdsrule #lockdownbirding #mistlethrush https://www.instagram.com/p/B--JdXwn5pn/?igshid=51nshnc0ha0r

#Repost from @woodlandtrust with @ming.app . A mistle thrush feeding on mistletoe berries. This large songbird likely got its name for its love of mistletoe! Look out for them in gardens, parks and woods defending berry-laden trees in winter.⁠ ⁠ A tip from telling them apart from song thrush is to look for slightly greyer plumage and pale spots on their belly - as opposed to the characteristic streaks of the song thrush. Mistle thrush are also noticeably larger.⁠ ⁠ If you can't catch a glimpse of one, you might be able to recognise one by its fluting phrase. It's one of the earliest signs of spring, and they usually start singing by late January. It's no surprise it's often known as the 'Rain Bird' as it can be heard singing loudly from the tops of high trees after spring rains 🌦️⁠ ⁠ (Photo by Gary K.
