The thrush in the photo is a Grey-backed Thrush, Alexander.

Note the grey back.

I think it's a first winter male.

I also made it 12 Black Bulbuls on the way down, Mike, and in addition to the birds you mentioned, there were probably at least two Goodson's Leaf Warblers, one of which was singing, and a Greenish Warbler, which was calling constantly and showing well though a little high up in a tree on the orchard side of the path below the monastery.

Also a flock of c. 30 Striated Yuhinas. There seem to be a lot of them this winter.
