Return of the song thrush






I hope I'll be forgiven for posting these on Sky Watch as I realise
they are not strictly sky photos.However,this is the little chap who
was in my first picture yesterday.He came back this morning and
sat quite happily, preening himself while I photographed him.I hope
he's decided that I'm harmless and that the only thing I am going
to shoot him with is a camera!

Song thrush



Strictly speaking,the first photo isn't a sky picture but it led to the second
one so I'm including it. I saw the song thrush landing on the fence so I crept out
with my camera and tried to get his picture, but of course,just as I was getting
near enough,he flew off! However,he took pity on me and flew back.
Unfortunately,I couldn't persuade him to show his best side, which, of course,
is the breast,which is a beautiful mottled shade of browns and yellows. However,
I then noticed a bird flying overhead so I took his picture as well! I did ask him
to slow down but I don't think he heard me!
