Storm Cock

Source: RSPB website

The prolonged singing of thrushes this month, particularly if heard or spotted from the top of a building , indicates ferocious storms to come, which probably explains the thrush’s traditional name of storm cock. Shakespeare took a slightly different view saying that if the ‘throstle with his note so true’ sings at sunset, then the weather the next day will be fine. The missel-thrush is rather touchingly also known as Jeremy Joy, possibly a version of a description of fine winter weather the bird may foretell - ‘January Joy’.
