With social media going gaga over a fall of winter thrushes, I visited my local park on the way back from dropping my car into the garage. Despite at least five bins and a dog control order in place there were still fresh dog fouling to contend with. A couple of mature holly trees had dropped a good crop of berries that were attracting a number of thrushes. Sitting on a nearby bench I watched as upto four fieldfare dropped out of the nearby monkey puzzle tree onto the now bare snow free ground to feed. These birds were joined by a couple of blackbird upto three song thrush, a single mistle thrush - a small party of redwing stayed in the tree tops. Other notables included finches of green, gold and bull.
I wonder why they chose to use a picture of Grey-capped/Oriental Greenfinch on the sign and not European(?).
