We’re going birdwatching... with our ears
Today we’re listening out for the Song Thrush
It’s small brown bird
Around the size of a large apple or a small grapefruit
With a distinctive speckled breast of warm browns on white
These earthy shades help it camouflage amongst the leaves.
Can you hear that?
Do you hear how each phrase is repeated twice before moving on to the next one?
This repetition is a key feature of its melodious singing pattern.
The Song Thrush has a remarkable ability to mimic other birds
So, you may hear elements of other birdsong effortlessly woven into its melody.]
