It’s only been a few weeks since I saw my first winter thrushes of the season but now they’re everywhere, feasting on autumn’s bounty of lush, delicious berries. Song and Mistle thrushes, Blackbirds, Redwings and Fieldfares and, not a thrush, the Woodpigeons are also indulging in the berry-fest. The Redwings are particularly skittish but I’ve managed to sneak up on a few to grab photos, though, more often than not, the whole tree I’m trying to approach will suddenly erupt with birds flying off in all directions. And then I feel a little guilty about interrupting their repast.

I don’t know about that, I was in my kitchen so unable to hear what goes on outside.

My word, you got some cracking shots there! I have been visited by Thrushes too but I can’t tell them apart; I am fine with all the different ages and genders of Blackbirds though. I saw a Woodpecker in the Ash tree opposite but against the light I couldn’t tell which variety it was

Thank you so much.
Did your woodpecker ‘yaffle’?
