Song thrush in the park

It is very nice of you to come and see what I saw earlier - please, if you have time, leave a comment so I know you were here.
I take photos of things I see and want others to see too. I'm no pro, I'm not gonna be pro, but I enjoy going 'round with my camera and save the moments in time.

Around here is on sunny days been great tit singing exercises, but otherwise is still well in the winter. In the courtyard are the guests of the blackbirds, which has sometimes been the voice, great tits, bluetits, bunting, and sometimes a greenfinch.

@Jypyä Pop: We have very loud chirping going on day and night - it's amazing how loud voice comes out of such little birds.

Thrushes are beautiful birds, but the most beautiful voice is a blackbird, fieldfare has an ugly sound ,,haleja

@Oiva: I like the song of a blackbird too, but maybe a nightingale or a starling is even more enjoyable to listen. Starlings always remind me of summernights in Finland.

You are better than me, at least you know which birds your shooting!

@Curly: Hehe, many times if I do not know what bird I have in the picture, I may browse some pages to find out what it is - this is one quite good http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/ and if all the pages I check don't help then I just post the picture here and hope someone else knows and tells me too. :)
