Black-Throated Thrush in Devon

The start of a good day had me being woken up by a TAWNY OWL that was calling outside my house in Topsham , I then went out to Scorriton Down on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon with Brian Heasman to look for a reported Black-Throated Thrush but after spending quite a while looking for it there was no sign ! but there was a couple of RING OUZEL , numerous REDWING & FIELDFARE , 6 BRAMBLING & 3 YELLOWHAMMER , so we headed for home ! Wellllllllllll I had only been home a short while when news came out that the BLACK-THROATED THRUSH had been found again & was showing quite well , so off I went again & this time I was in luck & got great views of this 1st for Devon & managed to get these shots of it just before the light went .
