From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mistle Thrush (Turdus viscivorus) is a member of the thrush family Turdidae.
It is found in open woods and cultivated land over all of Europe and much of Asia. Many northern birds move south during the winter, with migrating birds sometimes forming small flocks.
The Mistle Thrush averages about 27 cm long, larger than the similar Song Thrush. The sexes are similar, with plain greyish brown backs and neatly round-spotted underparts. The breast has much less buff than the Song Thrush.
It is omnivorous, eating insects, worms and berries. A Mistle Thrush will defend a berry-bearing tree against other thrushes in winter. Mistletoe berries are amongst its diet.

Hi Razvan.
I like a charming winter subject. A cute bird among the tree branches which are covered by snow cap is looked amazingly. WB, colours and details are very good too. My best regards and TFS.

Hello Razvan,
A beautiful capture of the Mistle Thrush in a nice pose by the thick snow. Excellent focus on the eye and sharp details. Beautiful light and colours too and I like your framing.
Only a summer visitor here and normally very shy!
