I'll admit that it's a long time since I've seen either species, but why is this not a Mistle Thrush?

I would also suggest this is a Mistle Thrush.

I have looked through a lot of books today and on the website and I think it is a Mistle Thrush, very cute though

Ooops! That is a little embarrassing... I recall the advice of the head ranger at a country park in Dorset given to me when I was about 10 - "always look at every bird you see for at least 5 seconds". Good advice.
