Thrush Nightingale? YES!
Ring Ouzel? No
Is it a migrant...does it migrate to the UK during summertime? It is a scarce autumn vagrant.
Your turn Boroboy.
Er, shouldn't the answer to these two be 'yes'? Thrush Nightingale is common across farmland across this country and it is a nightingale (with a small 'n'). To be honest, there could also be a 'yes' to the garden bird question - occurs in my garden
