I photographed this thrush yesterday at Carlin How, it was a lot smaller than a usual song thrush, just a little larger than a robin. It seemed weak and unable to fly. Any thoughts?

Hi Helen,

can you re-post your picture. I think you must have uploaded it as the website moved to a new server so unfortunately the picture has got lost

Regards,
Jamie

Ok Jamie, here goes...

Hi Helen if that's a faint touch of red under the wing then it's a Redwing one of our winter visitors

Tweaking the colours and brightness it looks like a Song Thrush from the buff breast and inverted arrowheads marks on the breast.

Thanks All, it more than likely is a song thrush, the thing that got me curious was it's small size, but I suppose if it was weak and in poor condition it would appear reduced in size. Poor little thing, hope it gets through this weather, might take it some mealworms!

Sorry for the wrong id. didn't expand photo
