Last but one day off before Christmas, so I was damned well going out, whatever the weather!! It turned out grey with vague moments of brightness, so ISO ranges were 160 to 12800!
The rain didn't start until after I'd got home.
Sorry Snappy, in advance

Very productive visit PB, a great selection of thrushes I particularly liked your LTT.

A good collection for a dull winters day.
I note another mongrel duck.

A great selection of pic PB.

Thanks Snappy... I thought of you for every thrush I saw
The lollipops were great, I kept hearing them but didn't see them 'til near then end, then they popped up without twigs, and, TBH a bit close lol
It was a bit touch and go I'd get home before the rain started
