Unusual this, they normally come in flocks.
I usually get a single or a duo, but only when the snow is lying. Handsome birds though. I saw a couple of hundred at least Redwings last week. They wouldn't stay still long enough to take a pic.
You're both lucky. The most I get visiting my garden are house sparrows :), dunnocks :), blackbirds :D, starlings >:( and the occasional wren ;D. Still, it's nice to see them all ;D
We get small groups of redwings round the flats (a mile from Birmingham city centre) but not the fieldfares. When I lived in Cornwall we used to get mixed flocks on the pastures.
Merry Christmas day ERic
Guess who had a Fieldfare today. wahayyyy made my day. Only one as well Eric. and it ate on my lawn from 1pm till dark so more apples going out tomorrow. Oh has taken loads of pics, will see how they turn out.
::) ::)
The rest of the flock of about 30 were in a field just up the lane yesterday morning,so perhaps this one was an escapee!
Its back today again. I have also had a Stoat stotting around my garden all morning. I couldn't believe it when I saw it climb a tree. Maybe telly is bad but the wildlife is keeping me amused.
