Mistle thrush

The mistle thrush is a sturdy bird found across Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Known for its bold singing even in stormy weather, it’s a year-round resident in much of its range, though some populations migrate south in winter.

• Its song carries far and is heard even in rain and wind.
• It has pale grey-brown feathers with black spots on its underside.
• Both males and females look nearly identical in their plumage.
