Groundscraper Thrush (Turdus litsitsirupa)

The Groundscraper Thrush is a small to medium sized bird. This thrush imitates the calls of some other birds.
Fairly common.
Found in savanna woodland, around farmyards and in thornveld. Quite bold, feeding on lawns and in gardens.
Feeds on insects and invertebrates.
Breeds from October to December, nesting in the fork of a tree. The nest is made of twigs and leaves and lined with feathers.
This particular bird lives in our garden and wakes us up every morning at sunrise, by pecking on the windows.
