Rare in flocks they prefer to be solitary. After Autumn they will be one of a few to start singing but in the meantime feeding is the most important job of the day, keep warm at night and survive.
I have noticed that the Snails have hibinated and gather within tree bark, or under a terracotta plant pot, Snails are the main food for the Song Thrush. Earthworms are especially important during winter and spring. Saw a Song Thrush on the 25th Nov on a manure heap on one of the local farms, it was pulling the straw to one side and finding the worms and grubs. Having seen me jumped onto a stone wall and tried to hide in a thicket.
