ITS THRUSH TIME
Since getting home on tuesday my birding has largely consisted of gazing out of the kitchen window at the thrushes feasting on my berries and crab apples all five british birds have paid me a call this week,a flock of about 30 redwings half a dozen fieldfares ,a dozen or more blackbirds two or three song thrushes and one probably two mistle thrushes have all been seen.A pair of bullfinches a meadow pipit and a grey wagtail were among the more unusual visitors as well.

This single FIELDFARE on the back lawn was very aggressive and chased the blackbirds away if they came too close.

Hello Phil,
ReplyDeletethis really beautiful pictures of the Redwing. I have this week managed to lay down a number. The bullfinch, I have but I still have places. Also you thrush and blackbird are really nice and focused. Very nice series.
