The adult Varied Thrush was seen again by four observers in the vicinity of the Yew tree near the Nethermead Arches from about 2:10 - 2:15 this afternoon. At about that time, the bird flushed to cover and most of the ground foraging birds in the area went quiet. A Red-Tailed Hawk perched nearby was the probable cause. The bird did not reappear in the following half hour.
