    And that is Turdus completed, thankfully - I have to say I am somewhat surprised that there are no photographs of Ring Ouzel in the gallery, so hopefully someone somewhere has one up their sleeve!

    It's particularly annoying given the fact I have not only seen two subspecies of that particular taxon, but saw the species in central Spain only weeks ago :p

    Umm … hate to nit-pick but the Abyssinian Thrush (Turdus abyssinicus) - you put up two photos of mine illustrating different subspecies and underneath stated that "No photos of this species are present in the Zoochat gallery."

    :p

    Yeah that's just an editing error borne of the fact I listed it as having no photos when I posted that chunk, then edited the photos in later when I found them labelled as Olive Thrush; shall fix the issue now.

    Ring ouzel should pass my area within a month or so, so I'll see what I can do. However, they will be record shots at best.

    I keep getting that same feeling. There are heaps of species in the bird threads which I have seen, often a multitude of times, and I think "I must have a photo of that one somewhere" but then I don't.

    Same for me and even worse, took even care for a number of the "missing" species, for example the Ring Ouzel !
