Turdus philomelos


Today I headed off to Snowdonia hoping to get shots of some nice snowy scenery. The conditions weren't very good and the light was poor so the landscape shots weren't too promising. 

Walking along by the road I spotted this lovely Song Thrush and took a quick shot before it flew off into the field. It was quite shady in this particular spot so I have had to enhance the lighting and crop the picture quite a lot but it still makes a nice wintry image. 

The Song Thrush is a species in decline in the UK so I am always really pleased when I see one. They are so elegant and pretty and of course they sing beautifully (the name is a bit of a giveaway really). The species name is a bit unfortunate though.
