A follow-up of sorts to a recent Throwback Thursday post of a Redwing eating a Holly berry.
The Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) is another member of the Thrush family and related to the Redwing. As with the Redwing they arrive in Britain in the autumn to spend the winter having bred in northern Europe and Asia.
Taken in Cheshire, England in the 1980s. This bird had taken up residence in an orchard, feeding on windfall apples in the snow.
Just wanted to say you have a great array of terrific bird photos. I enjoy seeing them. Season’s greetings.

In England the robin tends to corner the market, but this would make a great Christmas card.

Thanks Susan. Using a Robin as a Christmas post never occurred to me. Off to look through my film archives.

I’m still trying to work out how inappropriate a tall bottle tree hung with Christmas lights would be. Ok for Christmas Eve, perhaps.

I can’t decide if I’m going to do a Christmas post.
