These small warm brown birds have spots on their upper breast that are shaped like upside-down hearts. They eat, amongst other things, snails, which they will smash repeatedly against a stone to extract the molusccy meat within. They are well known for repeating song phrases sometimes three or four times. As Robert Browning wrote: That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, Lest you should think he never could recapture The first fine careless rapture! The male's song at dawn includes a range of over a hundred different phrases making it one of the richest songs of all the chorus choir.
