Absolutely beautiful capture of this cute little guy. First time I've ever seen or even heard of one.

This is a really beautiful shot Graham. Everything about this image is so nicely done.

Very fine bird and beautifully presented by you...

Thanks all for the comments, very much appreciated.

It turned out well, Jack. Look like the early bird got the worm.

Until today it's been so dry over here, with the ground baked so hard, that I'm surprised the thrush managed to find any worms at all - but it might explain why it was working so hard.

These are both totally gorgeous shots (although I might have brushed out the pale spot near the bird's head in the first shot).

I drove right by this guy this morning, but luckily he stayed put when I circled back. Sitting on a fence beside the road at Point Reyes National Seashore.

All three beautiful.
Amazing plumage and detail is brilliant.
Such natural looking shots.
All adds to their visual impact.

Very nicely done shot, Tom. Great composition, and a cool looking pose.

Often mistaken, but never in doubt.

I really like this shot...it is a sensational image. If it were mine, it would be on the wall without a second thought.

Just had my "walkaround" lens with me today but such a lovely blue sky I just had to take this shot.
