Mistle Thrush (Turdus viscivorus).
January 2, 2012 in Biopedia, Birds by PaulS
This is a pale, black-spotted thrush – large, aggressive and powerful. It stands boldly upright and bounds across the ground while in flight, it has long wings and its tail has whitish edges. It is most likely to be noticed perched high at the top of a tree, singing its fluty song or giving its rattling call in flight.
Much larger than the similar Song thrush. Mistle Thrush has a much paler chest.
Ubiquitous to our area. They can be seen all year round.
