Yes, Barry, I got it from BigFrank , but as he don't want to post here I didn't want a good story go to waste. I looked the varied thrush up in a birdguide that I also got from BF via Lynty when she was here, nice bird! As I live in the city I don't have such a variety on my feeder like ppl in rural areas have, but a few weeks ago I had a first brambling on the feeder and he only showed up about two weeks later. Then more frequently, until this morning he showed up with a female. Later in the day there were 4 of them, so for me it's like going woohoooo! all that feeding bring more birds to my garden. Two weeks ago we had our backyard birding weekend.
