Unfamiliar bird

Started by: retep1949 (1193)

Saw a bird today high up in a tree singing its head off.It was larger than a blackbird or mistletoe thrush and the song was unfamiliar to me.Anyone any ideas?

I met a Thrush in Wigan.
It told me that Wigan was the most important coal mining town in the World and the Industrial Revolution had started in Wigan.
It also said both Marks and Spencers and Beechams were founded in Wigan and that hip replacement was pioneered in Wigan.

It was a Misled Thrush !
