fieldfares

January 14th 2010 13:43
Like the redwings mentioned in my last post, fieldfares munch berries - particularly in cold icy and snowy weather. They also eat seeds and bugs when weather permits. These birds have black eyes and orange-tan feet. They are frequently seen in all but the hottest of months in southern England.

They enjoy woodland districts but will venture into gardens when the weather hides their usual food sources. For year-round observation, you should head to Eastern Europe. The bird measures approximately 10 inches in length and has a 5-10 year life span.

I have finally managed to get a video of a fieldfare munching cotoneaster berries direxctly below the window - now, I have to get a computer/net service at home, so that I can share it with you!
