song thrush

The song thrush (Turdus philomelos) is a thrush that breeds across much of Eurasia. It has brown upperparts and black-spotted cream or buff underparts and has three recognised subspecies. Its distinctive song, which has repeated musical phrases, has frequently been referred to in poetry.

Appearance: Small thrushes with plumage similar to that of the Mistle Thrush. Pale
underparts with yellowish brown colouring on upper chest and underwing axillaries and many dark speckles shaped like arrowheads. No noticeable eye stripe.
Size: Length 20–22 cm, weight 53–79 g.
Nest: In trees at a height of 0–12 m . Bowl-shaped, made of twigs, moss, lichen and dry leaves, lined smoothly with splinters of decaying wood glued together with saliva.
Breeding: Lays 2–6 eggs in April-May. Only females incubate, for 10–18 days. Fledglings remain in nest for 12–16 days.
Distribution: Nests in all kinds of forest throughout Finland, but population becomes progressively sparser further north. Finnish breeding population estimated at 800,000–1,400,000 pairs.
Migration: Nocturnal. Leaves Finland September–October, returning April–May. Winters in Mediterranean countries.
Diet: Invertebrates, berries, seeds.
Calls: A sharp “tsik” in flight. Song melodic and varied. Repeats brief 1–4-note elements of songs 3–5 times, adding variations, before moving on to a new theme.
