Fieldfare (The Marshes, Lydney)




The Fieldfare is a beautiful bird, unfortunatey it doesn't stay very long. But, while they are eating their meal, we will have some quick snaps.

  4. Hi Keith, your right, they are hard to get a picture, even then I was well camouflaged, and it knew where I was.

    Adrian, they are terribly difficult.

    Chris, yes, they are the most beautiful.

  9. Hello

    I live in Nottingham and have never seen a Fieldfare before but I have had two in my garden today!! They spent all day alternating between a Cotoneaster tree and a Crab apple which has a few old fruits on, they had a drink from my pond and also a bit of a bath in my shallow water feature. It is extremly cold here as elsewhere. Is it normal for them to search for food in a city garden? I am not far from farm and woodland which I assume is their normal habitat.
