It baffles me when people say how beautiful song thrushes sound. The one I hear every spring just yells the same thing over and over again.

I know right? When I shout the same thing over and over, no one calls me a song Deborah. They call me a bloody nuisance. Wants to change its name to screaming annoyance if you ask me (but then I got up at 5)
