Whipsnade Zoo - 30.12.19

Black-throated Thrush

As I was off work and there was a rare bird at the zoo we had a family day out which thankfully didn't cost us a penny due to knowing someone who knew someone who worked there and so soon after opening I got decent views of the lovely male Black-throated Thrush. It was my 2nd in the UK after seeing one in Somerset 14 years and 1 day earlier! I'm hoping along with all Herts birders that once its eaten all the Cotoneaster berries it'll fly the short distance to Herts for us to tick.
