Never seen anything like it - a mouse ran at full speed from under a rubbish bin about 5m away from me in the local cemetery, crossing 2m of gravel path and disappearing into the bushes on the other side. Hard on its heels a Song Thrush, running (!) in full pursuit. I didn't get to see the finale; both protagonists had vanished without a sound when I inspected the bushes a few seconds later.
The only explanation I can think of is that the upstart mouse had appropriated some morsel on which the angry bird had set its heart. But I was still pretty flabbergasted by the sight; I'd never have guessed that a Song Thrush could (or would want to) run that fast!
Anybody with similar observations out there?

Andrew
