Information Required (Whites Thrush)

[Rolfe 2]

This is a picture of what i was told was a Whites Thrush.........a migrant bird i think..........it was destined for the taxidermist along with an albino grey squirrel found in Berwick-on-Tweed........just wondered if anyone could tell me a bit more about it as i had never heard of one.........i could google it........but thought there may be someone on here who is familiar with it. Like the albino squirrel it was the result of a road traffic collision.

i have seen a white crow a white thrush and also a white blackbird within the same area of kirkby stephen not sure wether they were migratory though if it is of any interest it was during winter

Difficult to see in the piccy. Not a song thrush but looks right size for a mistle thrush. Where was it found?

:icon_eek: F*cking Hell!!! That's a Whites alright, Rolfe! Good god, I'd have shit myself had I ever seen one of those in my Twitching days!

 

It's one of the rarest 'Sibes'. Comes over from Siberia ~ once or twice in a bloody life time! When not picking around on the Taiga, it's supposed to be in south east Asia! Not Berwick on Tweed!

 

I no longer have the references to look up how many have occurred in uk, but it's definately a top rated bird Shit!

 

Did ye ever have it mounted? What's become of it?

Ditch.........it was my ex-partners brothers...........he lives in Berwick..........as far as i know he had it mounted along with the white grey squirrel..........he called in on the way down to the taxidermists (they were both frozen) and i was fortunate enough to have that picture taken with the bird...........i knew it was rare..........but not quite that rare mate.

Thanks for the info it is much appreciated.
