@Magda: Yes Magda he was a real poser this one. normally you can't get very close to these but for some reason this day they were quite happy probably sun-drunk!
@Stunner: Thanks Stunner

Anthony from Bielefeld, Germany
I reckon if you´d have held out your camera he would have taken it and fired off a few snaps himself :-)

JJ from Jersey City, United States
have to wonder if you put something in the bird feed to make this fellow such a happy poser to allow such wonderful closeup shots
On my Buoy shot, the Buoy was one of many near the wharf where boats parked

@JJ: I was amazed that he was so happy to stay there as normally the thrushes are quiate high strung and fly away when you get near them. I personally think he was half asleep in the beautfiul sunshine
@maysam.pourghasemi: Thanks for the comments I can see what you mean It would be good to darken the background a little
Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Nice close up. It looks like he was taken a little by surprise.

@Laurie: Thanks Laurie no I had been there for quite some time when I took this photo I think he was about to cock his head and listen for some worms.
@leslie: Wow thanks Les
