Wood Thrush
Hylocichla mustelina (JF Gmelin, 1789)
11750
Family: Passeriformes > Turdidae
In common with many North American migratory woodland birds, this species – which resembles a bright well-marked Song Thrush – is declining markedly so is likely to remain an extremely rare visitor to Britain.
Wood Thrush was added to the British List following the sighting of an individual on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, in October 1987.
