what a wonderfully clear shot. It's great. I hadn't seen your d0g-bird pictures before, how great that you found it and were able to raise and release it. It could well be the same bird I guess as thrushes are one of the many declining species.
I wish I could get a nice clear picture of a thrush like this! The birds in our garden are all having 10 metre dash races or trying to fly from one branch to another to get higher than the other!
What a little beauty! Nice shot. Just went for a look-see to your dog-bird shots- impressive to have hand-reared a wild chick and returned it successfully to the wild. I bet all the feeding was a lot of work!
