STATUS
Eurasia. Monotypic.
OVERVIEW
That the second individual should turn up on the other side of the North Circular Road, Greater London about a mile from the first is quite remarkable.
When these individuals occurred they were considered conspecific with Dusky Thrush T. eunomus. In October 2008 it was admitted as a full species (Ibis 151: 226) by the BOURC in their 37th report.
