Song Thrush; Zorzal común

The classic spotted thrush, the Song Thrush is neatly patterned below, and is rather small, markedly smaller than a Blackbird. It has a marvellously vibrant, varied, full-throated song that is instantly identifiable.
A declining bird in many areas, it relies on some woodland or tree
cover, or at least big, bushy hedges in farmland. It is equally at home in mixed or deciduous woodland with some clearings and wellwooded
gardens or town parks.

The voice is short, thin, high stip; loud alarm rattle;
song loud, exuberant, shouted, each separated
phrase of 2–4 notes repeated 2–4 times, some
musical, some whistled, others harsh or rattled.
The nest is a grassy cup lined with mud and
dung, low in bush, hedge, or tree; 3–5 eggs;
2 or 3 broods; March–July.
It feeds on hops and runs across open ground,
stopping to detect and extract earthworms; eats
many snails, slugs, other invertebrates, berries,
and fruit; shy visitor to bird-tables, but eats
scattered scraps and apples.
