Hi can anyone identify this bird for me, with its main feature of the spotted breast it could be a number of candidates. i have adjusted up the exposure for identifying marks on the bird, i only got one shot at it as it was gone pretty quick. Location was North London UK, size was between a black bird and a small magpie. in the area there are sparrows flycatchers and goldfinch and a small canal , well housed area. oh and about half hour while smudging flycatchers on the canal a Jay landed in a tree over head M50 55-200mm
It does look like the most likely candidate is the Mistle Thrush. Bird photography is one of those cases where shoot first ask questions later pays off . been a couple of times where i have shot into the sun or into a dark tree knowing its going to be a 'rough' pic,
