WINTER THRUSHES AT STONECOTE,..IN THE SNOW
It has been snowing on and off today and the fieldfares have been back again, fighting with each other and also the blackbirds over their rights to the apples which I am regularly putting out for them. They come quite close to the house now, and their desire to keep the apples to themselves seems to outweigh their fear of being watched and photographed through an open window! A couple of thrushes have also been around, and a pied wagtail, which, interestingly, also paid a visit during the last lot of snow we had.
