Almost every morning that I go jogging in my local park, I find I see something at least vaguely interesting. Whether it is a Jay, a Long-tailed Tit, or even a Mistle Thrush, it's nice to be able to appreciate birds even when not particularly looking for them.
I mention this because today, once again, I saw the Mistle Thrush in roughly the same area as a few weeks ago. This time it had been joined by a mate! I'll take my binoculars along tomorrow morning and confirm that they definitely are what I think they are (I don't want them to end up being Fieldfares just because I don't wear my glasses whilst jogging!)
That doesn't put the previous sighting into disrepute, as I had glasses and binoculars then. No, this time I struggle to see what else it could be, but need to be 100% positive.
In addition, I very often hear a Woodpecker of some sort drumming in one particular area of the park! I'm guessing Great-Spotted from the description of the drumming's length in my book, but it will be interesting to see it finally.
Quick post, over and out!
