In the above two photos, the orange belly is discernible
The Karoo thrush's habitat is riverine woodland, and they're common in gardens. They eat insects, worms and some fruit. When I photographed the thrush's above (there was a pair), they were hawking for late afternoon midges.

ReplyDeleteKaroo Thrush looks cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice for me to discover new birds, and this is a new one to me. Very nice images.
ReplyDeleteHandy to have around if they catch insects.
ReplyDeleteHello Jo, it is a pretty bird, the beak color and shape reminds me of our Robin. Great shots! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeletebring on the birds that eat insects, we sure need them here... I love the name, Karoo..
ReplyDeleteLooks a lovey bird Jo
ReplyDeletebuilt like our american robin (also a thrush).
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing this new thrush for me!
ReplyDeleteNice looking bird - just a hint of colour.
ReplyDeleteThe gannets in my post with the flecked backs are 2 or 3 year old birds, which means that they are not 'fully adult'. As far as I know the adults are alike.
