Song thrush

The song thrush (Turdus philomelos) is a thrush species that breeds across the West Palearctic, with brown upperparts, black-spotted cream or buff underparts, and four recognized subspecies. It breeds in forests, gardens and parks, is partially migratory with many populations wintering in southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and has also been introduced to New Zealand and Australia. It builds mud-lined cup nests and typically lays four or five dark-spotted blue eggs, and is known for using favorite stones as anvils to crack open snail shells; it is assessed as Least Concern despite serious declines in some European regions linked to changes in agriculture.
