Years ago we had thrushes nesting regularly, usually after the blackbird had its nest built. Now, we are lucky to even see one. Very early this year we had a Mistle Thrush every day feeding on my raisins and apple cores. The blackbirds, however, are very territorial and always cleared the poor thrush off. Anne Miles,

I hope numbers do increase but we have to take a closer look at our farming methods first. No chicken noodle, plenty of blackcurrant cordial though :) Miles Melisa,

Normally when I miss a week or so, I'm about 8 posts behind! Interesting information about the Song Thrush. It's sad that so much pressure is being put on wildlife habitat, migration patterns, nesting areas, etc. Like you said, you can see where this is heading. Although we've had some great success stories over here of species coming back from the brink, so maybe the Song Thrush will make it in the long run. Take care of yourself! Has Anne been over with chicken noodle soup? Melissa Miles,

I believe they like to hang around for a while too. Miles Rod,

More rest and more beef tea - that's the cure for all but the worst, isn't it? I love the photos of what was available from the window near your sickbed - all are fantastic as usual! Keep on getting stronger. Laura Hi Miles:
