DUSKY THRUSH in Margate cemetery
 
What a treat. A first record for Kent and about the 10th for the UK I'm told.
There were bucket loads of birders there, some of whom had travelled many miles.
I would like to have got better pictures but could not get any closer because o the number of people there. Probably best to be there on your own, but then you have to find the bird first. Well done Steve for finding it.




  
  
 
Turdus eunomus has been split from  Turdus naumanni (Naumann's Thrush) which we were fortunate to see in Bhutan only a few weeks ago where too it is quite a rare bird.
