Mistle Thrush

The Mistle Thrush is the largest of Britain's thrushes, the direct flight of the mistle thrush distinguishes it from other thrushes, which are often more undulating. It is paler in colour than the song thrush and has bolder markings on it's breast and belly. The upperparts are grey-brown while the breast and flanks are a pale buff with bold black spots, which are scattered all over the underparts. The wing feathers have pale edges, which give the appearance of a pale patch on the wing when seen froma distance.
