Brown Thrasher photos
I haven’t posted any photos in a long time, but I found these recent images of a Brown Thrasher taking a bath to be amusing and thought some of you might get a giggle our of them. The first photo is for reference.

The Brown Thrasher is native to Canada and America, only one lone individual was found in the UK in 1966.

So named because they 'thrash' about in the fallen leaves and ground litter in search of insects. Thanks!

The then Prince Charles, who is a keen nature conservationist, was fascinated by the arrival of the "Brine Thresher".
