Hope you're at work and reading this, Ian. We wanted to wish you all the best on your birthday and to help you celebrate here's a photo of a beautiful mistle thrush:
I should mention that the mistle thrush is the fiftieth bird listed in the excellent book Red 67.
Have a good day!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Kind regards, Ann
