  1. Glad you managed to get out Dean - that is a super photo of the Fieldfare :) I don't seem to have seen many Fieldfares or Redwings this winter.

    1. Thank you Caroline. It's been a bit hit & miss lately what with the weather.
      There's been a lot more Redwings than Fieldfares up here this Winter but was well chuffed to finally get a pic of the latter.

  2. Great shots as usual. I have seen only one Fieldfare in my entire life! But Sparrowhawks are frequent fliers aroung here.
