THRUSHES
There are 173 species of thrush.
  • Live in woodland, scrubland and towns.
  • Were once regarded as one of Britain's most common birds.
  • Eat snails, soft fruit (strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries and blackcurrants), making them unpopular with gardeners and farmers.
  • Otherwise they eat worms, insects, bread and seeds.
  • Sometimes line their nests with mud.
  • The average date for laying the first egg is 21 April.
  • The song of the thrush is considered the most beautiful.
  • The eggs are sky-blue with black spots.
  • There may be 2-3 broods per season.
