Black-throated Thrush


like many birders of my generation it was the first-winter male Black-throated Thrush at Coltishall in 1976 that forced a long trek from Lincolnshire to add the species to my life list; all thrushes seem to be charismatic and attractive so this one, my 6th in the UK, at just 80 miles away was a real draw -- and it always helps when a bird is tame for photography; its favoured garden is always in the shade and too many people to stake out the other haunts but what a nice bird -- about time someone found one in Lincs! must try harder

Stunning set of images, the fox shots in previous post are outstanding. This blog is one of my benchmarks.
