A WHITE'S thrush has been showing well this week at a site in North Yorkshire.
Trouble is that, lke a certain Norwegian parrot, it is a deceased bird that has gone to meet its maker and joined the choir invisible.
It is a stuffed and mounted specimen, currently gracing the premises of leading auction company Tennants of Leyburn, at least until it goes under the hammer on Friday December 15.
A note in the catalogue describes the bird as "a full mount adult with head turning very slightly to the right, stood upon a painted simulated rock, above grit covered groundwork, overall height 22cm, mounted upon an ebonised base".
