I couldn't wait to put this post on, sorry about two in one day.
It was another early frosty and misty start to the morning, however it had good sides as I finally got some pics of the FieldFares that have just arrived.

They are truely marvellous birds.
I couldn't help noticing the smaller birds as well, like these Green and Goldfinches. There were even a few Reed Bunting flying with the finches.
Now I wasn't completely sure on this bird but I think it is a Linnet or maybe a Red Poll - testing you all again, can you help?
Funnily enough some Redwing had joined the Fieldfares in a big feeding party.
There were plenty of Pheasants about since the corn had only just been cut.
And finally of course a picture of the wonderful.........Canada Geese. It's like having our very own nature reserve in the fields round the house.
Findlay....The bird in your pic of the Pheasant (next to last) appears to be a 'harrier' species, where did you take the pic?
ReplyDeleteThe other bird you wanted help with is a Linnet.
Great stuff Findlay....keep it up.
Findlay, your Fieldfares are pretty birds! The pheasant is a cool sighting! Great birds and photos.
ReplyDeleteThankyou every one I aw the harrier when I went for a walk in a few fields, however there wasn't any moorland or marsh.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to see the Fieldfare Findlay.
ReplyDeleteI'd guess your Harrier is a Marsh Harrier, and the other bird, like Pete said, is a Linnet.
Wonderful photography of nature's gift of beautiful earth and birds ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^

Definitely a Linnet Findlay - not an easy bird to get close to.
ReplyDeleteWell done fella.... I havent see Fieldfare this winter yet .... cant wait until they converge on the apples on the lawn
ReplyDeleteI love the third shot!
ReplyDeleteYour images along with the lovely background colour you use on your blog are really lovely, I love Pheasants and the single Redwing, very nice!
ReplyDeleteHi there - Fieldfares (and Redwings) are such classics of a winter day! I miss them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to WBW. I was in Oman all last week, hence the slow reply!
