Hello so cute was he after worms?

This time of year he likes seeds, berries & nuts. He/she loves my juniper berries so much, he built a nest in the tree. Spring, Summer & Fall he eats worms & insects.

Lovely little bird Paul, a bit like a thrush by the looks of it. Has he got a particular vocal song?

LOL, they are very protective of my Juniper trees. They don't let any other birds near them. But other birds get the berries which fall to the ground.

Linda - They are one of the most melodious birds. Sometimes they will sing tirelessly through the night - very loudly during the Summer. I don't know too much about them, but I read that they are passerine birds from the Mimidae family. I found this audio for you to listen to:

She does - and she keeps my vegatable patch virtually pest free. This is the one that owns my juniper trees.
