Visit from posse of Fieldfares

Never get too many blogs about Fieldfares amsterdam! They are beautiful birds and well worth losing your crabapples for, (Oops! that sounds a bit suggestive, but you know what I mean).

I agree with Dawn,lovely photos.

why not celebrate these lovely birds with other blogs. everyones' photos are all slightly different.
a joy to read and share.

Thanks guys. I spent some time watching them from my summerhouse. The resident blackbirds were trying to fight them off as the interlopers were stripping all the berries!

Agree...you can’t have too many fieldfare blogs!

Must check if my crabs are still on the tree!

Always lovely to see blogs and the Fieldfares are special aren't they, don't get them here although daughter sees them every winter, they come to raid a tree that is just over the road from her house, gets very excited when they arrive and never fails to tell me....

Hi Amsterdam, I'm pleased you had them visit too, strange how they only visit when it's snowy, looks like your crab apple tree brought them into your garden and they were attracted to the holly berries in mine.

Just had a wonder outside this check the garden after the snow and all the crabapples have fallen off and are now littering the patio. That’s another job to do- sweep up the fruits although I’ll leave some for the birds. Posted a picture on my photo’s.

Now the snow has melted everywhere looks a bit grubby here. Hopefully the other birds will clear your crab apples up.
