A mob of hungry visitors visited my garden this morning. About 30 Fieldfares descended in a flock and just gorged themselves on my crab apples. Last Winter I decided to leave the crab apples for the birds and not to make myself a few jars of jelly. Two fieldfares visited last year. I suppose this life saving food source location was lodged in their bird brains somewhere and they brought their family and friends back with them a year later! By the way.. this is Matron's first video posting!

I wonder how many will turn up next year? :)
Matron, I think you made their day. It must be quite hard to try finding food in the cold winter months for these poor birds.
Great video post.
That's a coincidence! We spent some time today identifying the 'unusual' bird in the garden eating berberis and pyracantha berries - a Fieldfare!
Evidently they seek food in gardens particularly when
the fields are covered in snow. What a flock you had! I have fieldfare envy!
Well done on the video, Matron. Really shows the flock on the crabapples. Glad they found some food in your garden.
wow! there are so many of them! They must be really hungry! :)
A few days ago I recorded how the birds fight for food in my garden, I posted the video on my blog, check it if you want - it's very funny :)
