A Song Thrush for Easter Sunday

When looking for a Bull finch in the apple tree I found two Song Thrush waiting to be blipped. And then one disappeared. This one happily strutted under the apple tree between the mass of cookooflowers certainly intent on digging up the garden, looking for lunch perhaps. I thought he looked slightly ruffled and had 'attitude' for the camera, his head turning at each click of the camera.

From the RSBP site: Song Thrush
A familiar and popular garden songbird whose numbers are declining seriously, especially on farmland making it a Red List species. Smaller and browner than a mistle thrush with smaller spotting. Its habit of repeating song phrases distinguish it from singing blackbirds. It likes to eat snails which it breaks into by smashing them against a stone with a flick of the head.

Wild life trust site: Cardamine pratensis
Cuckooflower, also commonly known as 'Lady's-smock', is a pretty springtime perennial of damp, grassy places like wet meadows, ditches and riverbanks, as well as roadside verges. Its pale pink flowers bloom from April to June and are thought to coincide with the arrival of the first cuckoo - a sure sign that spring has arrived at last.
