Black throated thrush

I like Simon Spavin's recent pix of the bird (plus the Hessle waxwings)

Anyone know if the thrush is still present?

Still present this morning. Mostly it stayed perched in trees, but occasionally came to ground and fed voraciously. It's in tip-top condition. Four others also watching it. One had come from Derby by train, changing at Lincoln.

Quote from the institute's Twitter page this evening:

"It's been fantastic having local ornithologists on site."

There seems to have been mixed messages about the institute’s attitude to birders’ incursions on to its turf.

Earlier today, there was a report that photographers had been told to vacate the site, but when I checked later, I was told that top brass were very happy to be accommodating.

The publicity won’t be doing any harm.

I’m not sure how conspicuous the bird has been today since 8am when it was certainly present.

Fortunate enough to see this visitor for an hour today at the Grimsby Institute. A first for me and only a mile from home!
