  "textContent": "_Turdus philomelos_ · Wikipedia, CC BY-SA\n\nInfo\n\nCommon name: Song Thrush\nScientific name: _Turdus philomelos_\n\nThe song thrush (Turdus philomelos) is a thrush that breeds across the West Palearctic. It has brown upperparts and black-spotted cream or buff underparts and has four recognised subspecies. Its distinctive song, which features repeated musical phrases, has frequently been referenced in poetry.\n\nThe song thrush breeds in forests, gardens and parks. It is partially migratory, with many birds wintering in southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The species has also been introduced into New Zealand and Australia. While it is not globally threatened, serious population declines have been observed in some European regions, potentially due to changes in farming practices.\n\nThe song thrush builds a neat, mud-lined cup nest in a bush or tree and lays four to five dark-spotted blue eggs. It is omnivorous and has the habit of using a favourite stone as an “anvil” on which to break open the shells of snails. Like other perching birds (passerines), it is susceptible to external and internal parasites and is vulnerable to predation by cats and birds of prey.\n\n* * *\n\n## Song & Call\n\nRecording XC1142543 by Jesper Lindegren via xeno-canto.org — CC license.\n\n* * *\n\n**First recorded:** 2026-06-08 · Parque da Cidade, Guimarães, Portugal",
