The 'rattler' (Turdus viscivorus)

I had a Mistle Thrush around the houses here for some weeks in the Autumn, not sure but I may have got some better pictures of him later on.

Couldn't quite attract him to my feeding area though, sadly.

For anyone that doesn't know this species, the reason for my title is that their call sounds rather like a football rattle LOL

i have never seen one as its extreme rarity here, even if it comes i don't think they will call, LOL so i think you know better.
