Menoturals; Saturday Sounds
One of my favourite things to do over October/November is keep an eye open for the arrival of the Fieldfares as they migrate from Russia and Scandinavia to over-winter here. I missed them last year. When they do come, they favour resting high in the giant Beech trees in our backyard. It means that any photo I take is always against the light... but just occasionally, I get lucky.

ReplyDeleteHello, YAM
ReplyDeleteYour Fieldfare is a pretty bird. Their sound is similar to the Mockingbirds I hear here. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Sounds like typewriters of yore!
ReplyDeleteAre they the ones with red under their wings? We don't see them so much (don't they stick to more rural settings than ours?) But we got a lot over a week or so a few years ago in a particularly bad winter. They had birdspotters hanging out under the trees by the college for days.

DeleteNope... the Redwings are a smaller bird, still of the Thrush family - but the two are often 'cross identified'. Yxx
Fieldfares sound a bit like Angel Madi did when was bird watching from her window perch. It was a combo of chirp and chit chit. At breakfast, I was enjoying our wild birds eating at the feeders...then I heard a Hawk they all scattered.
ReplyDeleteHugs and thank you for introducing it to us. Off to click on the link you provided.

I never imagined they migrate from Russia! Wow. There is so much I don't know about your and of the world.
ReplyDeleteYour Fieldfares look similar to our Robins...although their sounds are different
