| Most observations relate to larks, pipits and finches but kestrels are capable of taking such quarry as fieldfares, turtle doves and lapwing. |
|
| Back on the tops, a flock of fieldfares had gathered in a pasture but were soon frightened off by a kestrel. |
|
| The first known breeding of fieldfares in Britain was in 1967 when a pair nested in Orkney. |
|
| A hundred fieldfares were nervously shifting from the fields to trees then back to the fields. |
|
| Back at the start again it was noisy, with starlings, fieldfares, and flocks of young children. |
|
| Starlings had the pickings from the grass one side of the hairpin road, fieldfares the other. |
|
| Redwing journey here non-stop from southern Scandinavia often in company with fieldfares and blackbirds. |
|
| A finch-like flock flurried on a field and high in the sky a fast-gliding flock, perhaps of fieldfares, split then re-emerged. |
|
| In the fields there were plenty fieldfares and redwings who are related to the song thrush. |
|
| The snowfall had died out, a heron and a flock of fieldfares put in an appearance. |
|
| Like waxwings, fieldfares are nomadic and show no allegiance to regular wintering areas. |
|
| During Autumn, flights of noisily calling fieldfares often pass low over our garden heading into a fresh south-westerly wind. |
|
| The first sign of autumn is the arrival of fieldfares and redwings coming back from their summer holidays in Scandinavia, pausing to pig out on rowan berries. |
|
| We left the green and its old houses and found ourselves on a flat plateau of pastureland with sheep, seagulls, fieldfares and long views over Bilsdale to the east. |
|
| For the past fortnight, the winter thrushes, the redwings and the fieldfares have been arriving in huge numbers. |
|
| Soon we turned our backs on lovely Wensleydale, took some fine tracks, including Folly Lane, and crossed a high and empty landscape under a sky full of fieldfares. |
|
| We were stopped in our tracks as wave after wave of fieldfares with a soft chirping twittering glided out of tall silver birch trees and on to patches of pasture. |
|
| It was a rich source of food for many insects and the berries are eaten by a number of birds, including thrushes, fieldfares and waxwings, which are themselves in decline. |
|
| These fringes are often alive with birds, and crossing Harewood I hear the raucous chack-ing of a flock of fieldfares pushing downstream, prospecting for berries. |
|
| Unusually high numbers of countryside birds like fieldfares, redwings, bullfinches, and yellowhammers were spotted in gardens. |
|
|
|
| We can expect to see some more unusual visitors to gardens, particularly redwings, fieldfares and tree sparrows that are struggling to find food elsewhere, Dr Avery said. |
|
| Autumn recorders have been noting leaf colour, leaf fall, the departure of swifts and swallows and the arrival of fieldfares and redwings. |
|
| Three months ago the fieldfares arrived in rattling flocks through gusts of hail, their chak‑chak-chak calls like handfuls of pebbles flung on a frozen pond. |
|
| From migration to the tracking of hibernal visitors such as redwings and fieldfares, as well as some spectacular footage from the badger set and fox family. |
|
| Fieldfares find their food on the ground often locating it more by sound then sight. |
