This is such a beautiful bird and you have such an exceptional capture... I have seen so many posts, that I was wondering if they are in migration....

Hi db, Thank you for your comment. The Fieldfare and Redwing are birds (thrushes) that comes to the UK for the winter and although they are fairly numerous they tend to stay in the country side away from humans. In the UK at the moment we have a big freeze and the weather is driving these birds into the gardens in search of food. My resident Fieldfare is feeding of the rose hips from my rose hedge.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on this one - I appreciate it.

Lovely shot, everyones saying they have them in their gardens, am I on some sort of Fieldfare blacklist or something

LOL - Having a bush or hedge with berries on helps Ken, failing that cut some apples up and throw then on the lawn.

Been there done that, I'm even prepared to offer them free T-shirts if they show
