    Quick one for the bird watching forum. This bird is set up nest on our building in Citywest and we were just wondering what it is. There are a pair of them, quite noisy and I even seen them destroy two tits one morning in fight.

    Can anyone tell me what it is ??

    Looks like a Mistle Thrush. They can be very noisy which also fits the OP's description.

    They are beautiful birds. Lovely to have them around. I think they are mostly woodland birds.

    The nesting pair were joined by two lovely chicks last week :-)

    What do you mean they destroyed tits? Did they catch them and kill them? Doesnt sound like something a Mistle thrush would do

    Yes, pulled them apart. One at a time. It was quite surreal to watch.
