The Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos) is known for its melodious song, which varies in complexity and often includes imitations of other bird species. During the night and dawn, the Song Thrush may produce a distinct nocturnal or pre-dawn song. This song is typically characterized by clear, flute-like notes, delivered in a series of phrases.
At night, the Song Thrush may engage in a simpler and more subdued form of singing compared to its daytime repertoire. These nocturnal songs might serve various purposes, including territorial marking or communication with potential mates.
In the early hours of dawn, the Song Thrush often initiates its full song, filling the surroundings with a rich medley of sounds. This dawn chorus is a critical part of the bird's communication during the breeding season, signaling its presence and establishing territorial boundaries.
