5.30 a.m. this morning and a Song Thrush was singing loud and clear, even tho we're into July! I do love the Song Thrushes, they keep going after the Blackbirds have called it a day - and longer into the evening too. Came across this cracking poem below 👌👇🦆
New Year's Eve, and 125 years old today is 'The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy.
(And when I myself read this poem, I often find myself becoming aware of that blessèd Hope from that frail and gaunt thrush ✨️)

Was nice to encounter a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker yesterday at Rostherne Mere, in very similar habitat to previous (few) encounters over last few years: Alders next to water. Habitat worth looking for them in, N Cheshire at least. A calling cuckoo was nice too.

BBS between Llyn Ogwen and Capel Curig. Chough nest and Redpoll nest best, otherwise seemed lacking in migrants like Tree Pip and Whinchat... 🤔🤷♂️
