I have noticed on recent mornings that the local Song Thrushes are back in full song. I suspect that they have already had their first broods and the males are busily reaffirming their territories before giving it another go. Small birds have to cram so much breeding activity into such a short spaces of time that there barely seems to be time to have a day off before starting the process all over again.
