Today saw my inevitable return to Whipsnade Zoo, this time with Ed Stubbs and Sam Jones, and this time the adult male
BLACK-THROATED THRUSH duly performed very well. It divided its time feeding on berries in its favourite bush, and dropping to the ground to pull the occasional worm from the adjacent pig pen.

Other birds included a
Red Kite, a
Mistle Thrush and around 50
Redwings. The highlight of the journey back was a flock of around 40
Lapwings near London Colney.
