Distinctive looking thrush on the back lawn yesterday afternoon, apparently pecking at an apple, although I have no idea how this last got there. And now, back again briefly as I type, that is to say around 0700, Saturday morning.
Big patch of grey on the back of the neck, brown sides/wings, grey under parts and pale speckled front parts.
Bing, BBC and RSPB conspire to make this a fieldfare, a bird which I have never knowingly seen before.
A change from all the redwings which I see quite often, not in our garden this year, but a flock of which seem to have taken up residence down Longmead Road, where they have become quite tame, running around on the grass there and only moving on when you get quite close.
