I asked the Fieldfares in our garden to show me their underfeathers, but they didn't oblige, so I've no idea what sex they were. I've not managed a flight shot of one yet - well done to whoever captured yours!<br /><br />If I don't manage to comment on another blog post from you before Christmas, I hope that you and the family have a wonderful one, and my best wishes to you all for 2014.
