Description: | The Bluethroat is a small member of the thrush family. It breeds in tundra and shrubby vegetation throughout northern Scandinavia, Russia and across Asia. It spends the winter in parts of the Middle East and southern Africa. A few are normally seen in Britain every year, mainly on the east coast in the spring and autumn. These are birds that have stopped off here whilst migrating across Europe. This bird was shot on the Newcastle Town Moor in May, 1826.
