My guess is fieldfare most likely and song thrush least likely. Fieldfare have a familiar call, mistle thrush too but different, almost like a metallic raspy clattering rattle. Fieldfare and mistle thrush are maybe 20% larger than song thrush

Hi guys and happy new year. We've just had a bird/duck thing on our front lawn which looks like a moorhen but without the red beak - any ideas what it is please?

My first thought was a juvenile moorhen but I don't know if it's the right time of year?

I've dug out my photo of one that showed up on my driveway a few years ago. We lived a couple of miles from the river but apparently they do wander. |

(I can't work out from the website I had saved that photo to, what time of year the photo was taken).
