When I lived in London I used to see Thrushes regularly on my jogs around Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets. That was 15 – 20 years ago. Today (23/10/2019) I saw one from my Dorset garden for the first time in quite a while. There are 170,000 Mistle Thrush pairs in the UK, a decline of 40% from 1969. They moult from May to September, so looks quite smart in October in its new feathers.
The Song Thrush (23 cm) is smaller than the Mistle Thrush (27 cm) and more common (1.2 million). It is seen quite often on the ground searching for juicy worms, but also feeds on caterpillars, beetles and berries in the autumn.
