No thrushes here either. Rest sound similar to yours but I've not seen or heard a woodpecker. Had a house martin singing in the tree behind us though recently which was amazing.
I think we literally have one pair of blackbirds so they aren't constant visitors, more occasional, but I love their song so don't mind them stealing my blueberries too much.
Thrushes eat snails and slugs too. We have great tits, blue tits, magpies, wood pigeons, collared doves, rooks, goldfinches, parakeets, sparrows, robins, starlings, the occasional jay and woodpecker. But I've never seen a thrush or blackbird in the garden.
