Noticed a bird tucked behind my seed feeder today - the bit I could see from the lounge looked a lot bigger than a greenfinch but much lighter in colour than a starling or blackbird. Went round to kitchen to get a better view. Thought - I'm seeing things. Went upstairs to get binoculars, then back to kitchen for a closer look. It was a thrush! - never seen one on birdfeeder before; in fact, I had thought they only ate insects, but this one was clearly tucking into sunflower seeds. It hopped about the prunus a bit, stretched its wings, & came back to the feeder several times & I got a really good view (& no, it definitely wasn't a female/juvenile blackbird!). I was so surprised I've just been looking through surfbirds to see if I could find any other bird it could have been - other than a thrush the closest thing is a tree pipet, but that's much too small - must have been a thrush! Anyone else seen one on a hanging feeder?
