Dusky Thrush

Went for the Dusky Thrush with Dad, but the weather was pretty poor.  Rained all the way there and low cloud/mist in the Derbyshire hills.  Flood water everywhere on the roads.  Arrived to find birders coming away who said it was showing 'just round the corner'.  However it took us  a little while to find out where it was.  

It was out in a field, occasionally coming down to feed close to a distant hedge.  The views were pretty poor really, not helped by the rain and dull conditions.  The video is shown here for record purposes but that's about it. Filmed at maximum digital zoom and subsequently cropped in iMovie!
