Fieldfare? on the Bird Table

Unfortunately only a couple of really grotty shots .....

..... but I am pretty sure it was a Fieldfare which visited the bird table this morning.

That will teach me to keep the UV filter clean. Also the 50D always seems to have problems when the battery is low and the indicator was flashing at me this morning.

    1. Same here TWG. Most home photos are taken through the kitchen window. Fortunately the window cleaner did all the outsides a couple of days ago.

  2. Strange you only had the one John. I have only seen them in flocks.

    1. It was Adrian. I had a look in the old orchards around here but didn't spot any others.

  3. What a bird table highlight, John. I was struggling with light but posted my images of a long-tailed tit feeding with a coal tit - a highlight for me. Funnily enough, I tend to see just the odd one or two Fieldfare when they have ever visited me (only a couple of times). Hoping you get more sightings in better light :-)

Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
