13132594. Song thrush, Turdus philomelos
Song thrush, Turdus philomelos. Is omnivorous, eating a wide range of invertebrates, especially earthworms and snails, as well as soft fruit and berries. Like its relative, the blackbird, the song thrush finds animal prey by sight, has a run-and-stop hunting technique on open ground, and will rummage through leaf-litter seeking potential food items Breeds in forests, gardens and parks, and is partially migratory with many birds wintering in southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East; it has also been introduced into New Zealand and Australia. Although it is not threatened globally, there have been serious population declines in parts of Europe, possibly due to changes in farming practices. Portugal Date

Feathered Foodie - Song Thrush Shows Off Its Culinary Skills!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, the talented Song Thrush, Turdus philomelos, reveals its diverse palate and impressive hunting techniques. Known for being an omnivorous connoisseur, this charming passerine bird enjoys a wide range of delicacies. From juicy earthworms to crunchy snails, it savors every bite with gusto! With a keen eye for spotting its prey and a unique run-and-stop hunting technique on open ground, the Song Thrush is like a master chef in the wild. It fearlessly rummages through leaf-litter in search of potential food items and surprises us with its resourcefulness. Breeding in forests, gardens, and parks across Europe, this partially migratory bird also takes winter vacations in sunny southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Talk about globe-trotting gourmands! Not only that but these adventurous birds have even spread their wings to New Zealand and Australia thanks to human introductions. While not globally threatened as a species (phew!), some parts of Europe have witnessed serious population declines due to changes in farming practices. So let's appreciate this delightful snapshot while raising awareness about preserving their natural habitats. This vibrant print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the essence of nature's culinary maestro - our very own Song Thrush!
