Description

L: 20 - 22 cm

The Song Thrush has a brown back and is white or yellowish-white below, densely speckled with black spots. The sexes are similar.

It can be found throughout the British Isles.

Song Thrushes breed in lush woodlands, parks and well-vegetated gardens.

Northern populations are migratory, wintering in western and southern Europe.

The Song Thrush is a Red list species, because of a serious population decline, particularly on farmland. There are about 1.1 million breeding territories in the UK.
