The Song Thrush, introduced to New Zealand in the 1860s, has become a beloved part of our urban and rural landscapes. Slightly smaller than a blackbird, this charming songbird is known for its melodious voice and speckled breast. Its presence in gardens and parks across the country makes it a delightful find for novice birdwatchers.
