I have heard and seen many song thrushes (Turdus philomelos) many places the last days and weeks- from forests far inland to small forests right by the ocean.

I haven't edited the new photos, so here is a song thrush memory from the archive, from the southernmost point of our municipality.

The song thrush breeds throughout most of Europe, and is further distributed in a belt through Russia and Siberia east to Lake Baikal. It also breeds in northern Turkey, the Caucasus and northern Iran. It has also been introduced and established in Australia and New Zealand.

Birds from Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Russia winter around the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Middle East.

A lovely little song thrush (Turdus philomelos) that came close by Lindesnes lighthouse (the southernmost lighthouse on the Norwegian mainland), on an April day.

My parents have had a couple of song thrushes in their garden as well this spring and summer.

When I visited in May, one of them sang their lovely song all day. During my stay this summer, I have only seen the adults searching for food on the lawn, but today I realized that they have got big chicks as well.

But I found out in a bad way, when the neighbour's damn cat came and killled one of the chicks, just as I took my first look at the lawn covered in sunshine this morning.

It was too late to do anything else than hope that it can be food for a bird of prey, when I reached it. Too bad I didn't reach the pleasure-killer for a lesson.. This was really not the way I hoped to see a song trush chick for the first time..

I can't believe that people don't see that cats should be on a leash, or indoors. They kill insane amounts of birds, of which there are fewer and fewer.

And the 'circle of life' has nothing to do with cats, since they have never been natural in Norwegian nature. And they don't kill for food either. I don't know whether to laugh or cry every time grown people can bring themselves to say something like that..
