A small hawthorn bush was fairly thoroughly in leaf, despite the shade of bigger roadside stuff. It wasn't even on a south-facing bank.
My first song thrush singing, and another, and... I gave up counting at 10, but I'll swear they weren't at it yesterday. And judging from the uninspired "phrases" of the songs, I'd say they still have a lot of learning to do. Several were only producing a single note, none sang more than 2½ notes, and none repeated more than a single "phrase". The great tits are more inventive than that.
