Yes
I think - as opposed to a Song Thrush?

Not the best of shots, but hey - this a rare visitor for me and the first capture of one.

700mm 800 ISO.
 
Well done..... difficult light too. Is it my monitor or has the colour shifted? The background shade is tending toward magenta for me.... :(
 
Looks good to me (y)
and yea, I think it is a Mistle
 
Its a lovely shot of a song thrush CT. One of the ways to tell them apart is a Mistle thrush has round belly spots, your bird has the small arrow head type markings.

:agree: with Cuddy on the Songthrush symptoms ... :D ... and the Mistle is a lot bigger and paler too ... :shrug:



A nice take though Cedric ... (y)




:p
 
Agree with Cuddy it's a song thrush, but all the same it's a very good shot of it.(y)
 
Well that's it then- I've had it in triplicate - Song Thrush it is. :D
 
Nice shot & well composed as always CT (y)

Had my first Song Thrush last week but, was too far away really, and much too shabby to show.

Thanks for the info on the belly markings Cuddy.
 
hi lovely shot perfect composition
Pete

not sure I can tell mistle from song
but the capture is great!(y)
