Medium-sized thrush, feeds on a wide range of invertebrates; also fruit from late summer to winter. Nominate philomelos: N and E Europe to C Asia; clarkei: British Isles and W Europe; hebridensis: Outer Hebrides and Isle of Skye; nataliae: Sayan Mountains to Lake Baikal and N Iran. Can exist almost anywhere where trees or bushes accompany open grassland, patches of dead leaves under trees, supporting ample invertebrate food. Population is increasing and the status is Least Concern. Mostly resident but northern populations partially or entirely migratory; more birds move if weather severe.
