for the last 3 years we have had song thrushes breed and rear young,
at present they are just starting their evening song, and it sounds as
if there are 3 in competition. Last year we had 9 young reared, so I
must be doing something right.

After what you said, I have just realised that I haven't seen the song
thrushes yet! I'll never forget the sight of mother (I assume) thrush
teaching a chick how to have a bath in the bird-bath!
