Angus Clydesdale Jan 2023 11:21am, 26 Jan 2023 26,092 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale We have resident Robins and Thrushes in our hedgerows. I voted based on which one was first to the birdtable this morning
Oscar the Grouch Jan 2023 11:32am, 26 Jan 2023 5,648 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch Excellent rationale
Ocelot Spleens Jan 2023 11:37am, 26 Jan 2023 36,189 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens Thrush, don't see that many. Robins 10 a penny.
GregP Jan 2023 11:40am, 26 Jan 2023 142,875 posts	0 GregP Quite - that's why I voted thrush. [see a lot of blackbirds which as we know are thrushes, but this is specifically a song thrush we're voting for I believe]
Serendippily Jan 2023 1:13pm, 26 Jan 2023 27,703 posts	0 Serendippily Unfortunately i saw a thrush this morning glares at cat We normally keep her locked in. Sorry everyone
Oscar the Grouch Jan 2023 1:47pm, 26 Jan 2023 5,651 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch Blackbirds are known as yellow beaked bastards in our family. I suspect it has to do with theft of summer berries but I know not and the person who coined the term died in 1990.
