| | | Fieldfares and Redwings
A flock of about 30 fieldfares came to my garden today and stripped the berries off my two cotoneaster trees. I also spotted a couple of redwings amongst them too. It's nice when something a bit different visits.

I've had one or two fieldfares every winter I've lived here. This year, not one... till today, when between 50 and 100 turned up, filling the trees all around, stripping holly and hawthorn. Awesome! |

Thats cool , i did see a few fly over the houses opposite our house today , but unfortunatly no drop in.Mind you i dont have anything that would attract them.Still getting large numbers of blackbirds , than previous times.Prehaps they knew the weather was turning.

We were at ours son's house in West Berkshire yesterday and there were about a dozen fieldfares in the garden. In the evening a huge flock took off out of the field behind his garden, consisting of many hundreds. Great to see.

I've just been in the garden with a broom trying to knock off the snow from many shrubs collapsing under the weight of it when a flock of c40 Redwing flew over. | | |
