Fieldfare
A lovely crisp cold morning and -5 showing on the thermometer. It was time to get myself back to Macclesfield Forest and the surrounding area. Lots of Goldcrests around the conifers and Blue Tits and Chaffinches flitting around. I managed to catch up with my first Fieldfares of this winter. I always look forward to our winter Thrushes arriving, and there were also plenty of Blackbirds around. Still waiting to see my first Redwing, but I'm sure it won't be long now before I catch up with one.
Your Fieldfare is a beautiful bird, great shot! Thank you so much for linking up to my critter party. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice captures Adam. I'm still waiting to catch sight of any winter migrant Thrushes on my patch.
ReplyDeleteA lovely bird, great shots Adam.
ReplyDeleteHI Adam I have yeet to see one this year so it is great to see your good shots. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the fieldfare. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty bird - they always remind me of our american robins.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many Fieldfares about this year Adam. I think you did well to find one to photograph and to then come up with such good shots.
ReplyDeletePretty...oh so pretty!! But that minus 5 doesn't sound very pretty too me. I'm such a wuss when it comes to cold temps. I loved the bird tho....great photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking in at the Bird D'Pot this weekend. Your participation is appreciated!!!
Lovely fieldfare. Hope you see the thrushes and redwing soon!
ReplyDeleteOur winter birds have arrived. We don't have this one, though. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion...winter birds dress up our world!!
