Night crooner (Turdus philomelos)

We didn't have much good weather during May, but very often the rain eased off and it warmed up just as the sun was setting.

Through the open window I could hear a Song Thrush, so went to investigate (even though it was all but pitch dark, there was enough to discern his outline.

Not too sure now, but I think I used one of the night time auto programmes on the camera.
