Title: female Japanese Thrush (correction )
Post by Neil on Feb 10^th, 2006, 7:04am

Corrected to female Japanese Thrush.Neil.

I hadn't seen the female before yesterday. I waited three hours hoping to see the male again and she turned up but not the male. She found a little water to bathe in as Bul-Buls were bathing nearby. I first thought this was the female Japanese Thrush so if my id is wrong please let me know. I used the Olympus on the scope as the noise from the D2x frightens some birds away.Neil.

Your first id was correct; this is an adult female Japanese Thrush, note the deep brown upperparts, the black spotting on the breast, all dark bill and limited orange on the flanks.
