The Beauty in the Beast #2 - Housing Estate Fieldfares


I know, they headed up the last post, but after checking the Dams and filling up the feeders there this afternoon, I got distracted on the estate which adjoins the reserve thanks to these beauties. The light was particularly crap and the wind was howling, but it was fun to watch them ignoring people and fiercely defending any one-foot-high ornamental excuse for a berry bush from other thrushes and generally looking stunning against such a mundane background. Fieldfares - they're the new Waxwings.
