Fieldfares at Freshfield



Fieldfares at Freshfield, originally uploaded by simonglinn.

There were, literally, thousands of Fieldfares and hundreds of Redwings feeding amongst the Sea-buckthorn at the end of Fisherman’s Path today. My frozen hands and shutter cable made digiscoping a chore and so for the most part I just enjoyed being surrounded by them. Well camouflaged, they were almost landing on me. This presumably is some desperate hunger; but they were finding food, so let’s hope the majority make it to the thaw.

11 Great Crested Grebes off shore too, and a Woodcock from the path. Plenty of Goldcrests around too.

Here’s a few oldies …
