This is a big crop I'm afraid. The limited orange on the upper breast side and the pattern of the spotting makes me think this is a female Japanese Thrush. The bill is also dark. However the head looks quite grey but that may be the light. Help appreciated.

Thanks

Mike, yes I do. If you walk down the steps from the car park towards the Tree Walk there is a tree in fruit and the thrushes are loving it. Better than McD's anyday! In the last few days I have seen Blue Whistling Thrush, Blackbird, Japanese, Pale, Scaly and Grey-backed thrushes. Not bad for a place I normally find deserted.
