I was walking across a car park at lunchtime today, when my attention was drawn to distinctive bird song in the distance. A song thrush was in full voice.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Luck was favouring me, and it remained proudly and loudly perched while I approached. The light let me down somewhat (again) but I managed a couple of usable shots from closer distances.<\/p>\n

It occurred to me that it would be helpful to have some sound. I don't have any recording equipment, but I found this sound file of a song thrush on the Freesound Project<\/a> pages. Usage is via a Creative Commons licence<\/a>. The file is Thrush1 by acclivity:
<\/p>\n

On an entirely different note, I finally got a photo of a wood mouse on the ground! Those are sultanas by the way.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Camera note: the thrush was photographed with the EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS + Kenko 1.4x Pro 300 DG teleconverter. The mouse was caught with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro lens.<\/i><\/embed><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[980,54],"tags":[55,326],"class_list":["post-1057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-birds-2","category-mouse","tag-thrush","tag-wood-mouse","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t
