Fieldfare in the garden, 13/01/10






Yesterday saw some interesting visitors to the garden, inlcuing this obliging Fieldfare which spent a couple of hours feeding on the apples I have left out. It wasn't so cold during the day, temperateures about zero, but we also had a great spotted woodpecker (first! for the garden) feeding on a fallen suet ball, and also a brief pheasant.

Today (Thusrday), the fieldfare has returned, and at one point there was were 4 thrust species within view (mistle, song, blackbird and fieldfare). Fantastic! These photos aren't so clear as they were digiscoped through the study window, but even so, I'm pretty happy with them.
