Young Mistle Thrush

I spotted this young Mistle Thrush in the tree outside our bedroom window as I was getting dressed this morning.  I had said to MrW earlier that I thought the thrushes must have either just hatched or fledged because Dad thrush was up in the tree very early singing his heart out, which he hasn't had time to do lately.  He sounded very pleased with himself.   A quick dash downstairs for the camera  and tripod and I took about 200 shots.  Mum (I think) came 3 times to feed the youngster, and each time it got very excited and flexed its wings and hopped around, running up and down the branches - the only proper shot I got of them both together is in the "extra photos" section below.
