(We've got a pair nesting in the grape arbour out back, in fact). They're a bit dull though, really; bricks with grey backs. Again, nice song; maybe not so nice at four a.m., though. ("Please, please, can't you just let me lie in until five?")(Is there a thread for this already? Birds you love, but whose necks you'd really like to wring, sometimes?)"Things", in my neck of the woods, should include the Eastern Bluebird (hadn't thought of that as a thrush, for some reason), which is somewhere up there in Bluethroat territory, aesthetically. I say "should include", because I can't seem to find one locally this year, although lots of other people have! (I know, the sorrow, the sorrow...)</blockquote>
