White's Thrushes nest in trees, laying three or four dull green eggs in a neat cup nest. They are one of the largest thrushes at 27 cm, and are omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms and berries. The sexes are similar, 27–31 cm long, with black scaling on a paler white or yellowish background. The most striking identification feature in flight is the black band on the white underwings, a feature shared with Siberian Thrush. More

a text to alert me to a White's Thrush about to be released at Kergord this lunchtime. It'd apparently been found feeding on someone's lawn (why not mine?!), and then caught when it flew into their window... Set to be released in Shetland's best woodland habitat, it seemed alert enough in the hand, but when released it sat motionless on the leaf litter, and shortly went to sleep. Decision was quickly made to take it into care, so after a very short period of liberty it was rushed away to convalesce. More

Now a month later, Don and I still talk about the sheer luck of seeing such a mega. More
