Re: Fieldfare Flocks

Within the last 2 days the Fieldfare flock (and now it's just a huge collection of feeding and perched birds) has increased to just under 150, and has been joined by 40 - 50 Redwing and a close flock of 50+ Starlings. The small fields within this area are 'alive' with thrushes.

Large flock of possibly 200 fieldfares feeding in berry trees on the outskirts of Moorland village on the road to Burrowbridge at 3.00pm today. A wonderful site to see on a sunny autumn afternoon!!
