WORD ASSOCIATION GAME 4

HINDER

And back to @Saskia's thresher - he looks similar to our lovely song thrush, which I haven't seen for a number of years now, and wonder if this is because his diet of slugs and snails was being poisoned by the slug pellets that peoplel were laying down in their gardens to kill these pests.
 
Impede

(Robbity and Saskia. We used to have song thrushes nesting in a nearby tree at our caravan park in Wales. It was lovely to watch the chicks from our window, Sadly the park owner had the tree chopped down and we haven't seen any since.:bigtears: We never use slug pellets. We simply remove an inch of topsoil where the slugs lay their eggs and there are far few slugs next year. Sorry to go off topic.:angelic:).

That song thrush is a lovely bird. Brown thrashers are known as singers. I used to think they were related to the wood thrush, but I just Googled them and apparently they're not. They do remind me of a mockingbird in build, and I just found out that they are related to those.
