Remember a while back I managed to photograph a pair of Mistle Thrushes building a nest in one of our Oak Trees?
Well, after building it, they didn’t actually use it and have seen nothing of them since.
However, this evening I spotted this young Mistle Thrush in the garden!
Photos aren’t great as I quickly grabbed the camera and got what I could, but I’ll keep an eye out for it and take some more.
I had a message from Emma (my better half) today as she’d spotted a new bird in the garden we had not seen before. We soon identified it as a Mistle Thrush, a bird that is common, but on the RSPB Amber Status due to decline in gardens (RSPB – Mistle Thrush).
So imagine our surprise when I noticed that a pair is building a nest in our old Oak Tree. I watched them for a while and noticed the female would go off gathering with the male following, but staying perched high on lookout as if he was guarding her.
Here’s a few quick shots I managed to get, I look forward to getting more photos of them.
