10th January 2018

Thanks very much for your kind comments on my photo of the Harlow Carr benches. I'm pleased you
liked it. :-) I haven't had much time to get out and take photos since the weekend, so
here's an archive shot from a year ago of a beautiful song-thrush we spotted on a weekend away
on Holy Island, off the Northumberland (North East England) coast.
The song-thrush is famous in the UK for the beauty and variety of its song, hence the name.
Sadly, like so many once common garden birds, its population is in decline in the UK.
An audio recording of its song can be found here if you are interested:

I thought I recognised the bird... we do have some that come into our garden, perhaps it came with
our first settlers? I love the song... and this image Ev. v

Such a pretty photo, Ev. I would sing if I lived on Holy Island...I loved that place.

Very nicely done, sharp and detailed. Looks like he's thinking of a song to sing just for you ! V
