this is the 1st fieldfare i have ever seen, i saw it last week in a residential garden while making a delivery, but could not get an image, another delivery today to the same address and thought take the camera on the offchance, low and behold, it's there again and i managed to get a couple of snaps. not sure what the residents would have thought if they looked out of the window to see me pointing a camera towards their house

Great photos, Phil.

The only ones I have seen this winter were about 100 yards away.

Excellent to get close shots.

Nice set Phil, these casn be hard to capture due to their wary nature.

Thanks, distance or aproach were no real problem, it's a quiet OAP bungalow road with the cherry tree in the front garden, took the pics from aprox 7 or 8 meters from the car window
