WINTER THRUSHES AT STONECOTE
Well the weather has certainly been cold, but it has brought additional birds into my garden. For the past few months I have had one fieldfare regularly visiting the orchard part of my garden feeding on fallen apples. Now they are finished I have been putting out some apples from my uneaten stores, and just in time, as yesterday I had two fieldfares and just now I looked out the window and was somewhat stunned to see around a whole flock of them (20+) together with at least one redwing and some blackbirds all attracted by the apples.
