A species i've been yearning to see ever since we got here, Now finally sighted and well heard among the breeding birds in the river side willows at 35km. I was pishing at a couple of flycatchers As one roundish dark shape Drilled out from the forest and landed on a branch no more than four meters from me, I made a frantic motion of raising my binoculars but saw him diving back into the forest before the binoculars could cop onto my eyes. As he took off he made a series of very strained and short drak! drak! drak! noise that continued for quite a long time after he settled back into the dense shrubbs(My recorder went dead and took more than thirty seconds for me to get it going again and missed his call...), The sound matched xc114582 perfectly. On our way back, I ventured back into the shrubs trying to get a glimpse of the thrush, just as lsmmm shouted "siberian thrush!" from the other side of the shrubbs. according to him, this was a grown male. typical tzzz thrush calls could be heard after I rounded to the other side and again failed to get a good glimpse. the sound was coming from several directions around us in the willows, at least 4 individuals, Probably two adults and two youngsters？
