Thrushes are often seen in parks during the summer months. The most common thrush species are the blackbird and the fieldfare.

The blackbird begins singing in early March. Some blackbirds spend the winter in their nesting regions, whereas some migrate to Western Europe. 

The blackbird produces several broods during the summer. It begins nesting in the early spring.

The feathers of the male blackbird are completely black. It has a yellow beak. The female blackbird has a brown feathering. 

The blackbird eats worms, snails and insects. During the winter, it eats seeds and berries. The blackbird builds its nest in a sheltered location, usually under a shrub.

The female blackbird has a brown color.

A fieldfare has found a worm.

The fieldfare nests in colonies. In fieldfare colonies, several pairs of birds make their nests in the same tree or two nearby trees. The fieldfares protect their nests together. This helps to keep unwanted visitors, such as squirrels and magpies, away. 

The fieldfare eats worms, snails and insects. During the late summer, the fieldfare begins searching for berries, such as blueberries and strawberries.
