Wow! Andy some outing there!
Do you think the very wet weather had brought the Thrushes down and they will move on?

Interesting question , The fieldfare , Redwings and Ring Ouzels were definite new arrivals , but I have never seen as many Mistle Thrushes .....so they may have been migrants as well ..?
