Whilst taking a short work break in Great Melton, I became aware of noisy
Blackbirds,
Jays, and
Chaffinches in mature dense woodland, my suspicions were confirmed as to why these birds were upset, a
Tawny Owl, a bird which briefly came into view before flying back into thick woodland.

Also present was singing Blackcap and a Mistle Thrush which was collecting food for youngsters. The Mistle Thrush is the largest of British Thrush species appearing greyer than the warm browns of Song Thrush, also, the Mistle Thrush has a very distinctive football-rattle like call.
