Redwings and Fieldfares

[nightshade]

I drew open the blinds this morning and every tree I could see was stuffed with Redwings or Fieldfares. The single Pyracantha at the edge of my drive
was full, and has remained so all day, of both kinds of birds. It was a brilliant orange/yellow but has been stripped of two thirds of its berries to date.
A quick attempt at counting put both types at around the 300 mark! with something like 40 at a time in the Pyracantha, unusually they have not touched the apple and soaked dry fruit in the back garden

I have seen Redwings at the front on the grass for the last 3 days only in a small flock.Feeding on seed and turning leaves at base of trees.Even found worms.CVL bird site have reported 3000-4000 Redwings and Fieldfares at Chew Valley Fruit Farm.

Opened my kitchen blind to see 3 Redwings together in my garden rooting around on the ground plus a couple of Blackbirds. First time I've seen them here: West Dorset near the coast.

Very distinctive markings around the eyes.

Have now spotted my first Fieldfare and mighty handsome looking too. In the same fruit tree with several Redwings and Blackbirds.
