Fieldfare [Turdus pilaris]

 

These birds arrived within the last week or so, and have been feasting on the autumn berries near and around my house. They will be around for a few months, overwintering, before they return to their spring/summer haunts, further north.

 

Here, there were about forty of the lovely birds on this hawthorn tree in my garden. Normally, as soon as they see us, they fly off in unison. However, this is taken through a window which, I suppose acts as a blind. I was delighted to see them in the garden - more that they couldn’t see me!
