	About_the_Song_Thrush
		The song thrush in your garden in the summer may not be the same song thrush that you see in the winter.
		The song thrush is mainly a ground feeding bird, foraging in wet and workable soil for earthworms, slugs and snails.
		The song thrush is the only bird to use this technique widely; a pile of smashed snail shells on a prominent stone is a sure-fire sign that you've got a resident song thrush.

		Its diminutive is mauviette, the modern table-name of the skylark, and perhaps mavis was in English originally the table-name of the thrush.
		The second species to which the name applies is distinguished as the mistletoe-thrush, or, by corrupt abbreviation, the misselthrush.3 It is known also in many districts as the storm-cock, from its habit of singing in squally weather that silences almost all other birds, and holm-(i.e.
		holly-) thrush; while the harsh cries it utters when angry or alarmed have given it other local names, as screech, shrite and skrike, all traceable to the Anglo-Saxon Scric.4 This is a larger species than the last, of paler tints, and conspicuous in flight by the white patches on its outer tail-feathers.

		The song thrush is a partial migrant, and birds which breed in the UK may winter further south in Europe.
		Song thrushes eat insects, worms and berries, but their special diet is snails, which they hammer on chosen 'anvils' such as a stone or concrete path, leaving a telltale mass of broken shells.

	Song Thrush
		The Song Thrush has unwittingly become a powerful symbol of conservation concern – a popular and formerly common bird, which is now suffering a serious and little-understood decline, thought to be linked to poor survival of newly fledged birds.
		Song Thrushes can be very early nesters and the young may be on the wing by the end of March in a good season.
		In common with other thrushes, mud is incorporated into the nest but the Song Thrush does not bother with a grass lining – she lays her lovely blue eggs onto a smooth mud inner surface which makes their nests quite easy to recognise.
