Garden Visitors
A fieldfare has been visiting the garden this morning and enjoying the soft pears on the bird table. He seems to prefer eating alone...here he is waiting for a clear run at the bird table, which has been very busy of late!
I've been watching the birds in our garden for the last hour...they are coming in big numbers at the mo! We have Bullfinches in the trees and I've spotted Redwings too..but no Fieldfares yet! It's lovely to watch them! ;-)
Your mention of a Fieldfare made me giggle as we over ordered fieldfare mugs from Emma Bridgewater at the shop, oops we meant robins and now it is a standing joke in the shop, we offer all customers a fieldfare mug irrespective of what they came in for!

I don't think we have fieldfares visiting either so it is lovely to see your photo.

Just been catching up on your posts - lovely photos. Ive been putting food out for the birds, but I havn't seen very many - poor things.
