Chris Baines on the Song Thrush

Naturalist and environmentalist Chris Baines loves the musicality of the Song Thrush and enjoys the territorial song battles in his neighbourhood.

Naturalist and environmentalist Chris Baines describes the wonderful song battles for territory and mates between Song Thrushes making home in his and his neighbours' gardens. His garden pond is also raided by these musical songsters for mud and wet leaves to line their nests.
