Hi, I've had 3 fieldfares in my garden for the past 3 days. I have never seen them before, so have been really excited to watch them, they are such a pretty bird. They have eaten at least 8 apples in between chasing the blackbirds away. It was so great to see a new bird in the garden. I live on the Wirral and two of my friends have had them in their gardens too. So there must be a large flock in the area.
Hi Imogen and welcome to the forum. There seem to be fieldfares almost everywhere at the moment - except my garden! It is always lovely when you spot a new visitor. Just this week I had my first pied wagtail and also a grey wagtail visit.
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
Hello Imogen, and welcome to the forum from me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Cheers, Linda.

Totally astonishing! I'm stunned to silence.
If the chap from RSPB is right and they move on, where will they go?
