Has anyone seen any yet? I often see flocks of them flying over our rural office in the autumn / winter but not spotted any yet!
Can't wait for them to arrive in Shropshire! Determined to get decents pics of them this year!!

Hello Whirly, there seems to be great numbers all over the country . Hope your invvasion happens.
Hello everyone. I had around 20 fieldfares in my tree in my garden yesterday in Hitchin. A few have been hanging around for the last few days but I've never seen so many as yesterday. Lovely sight..
We have atleast two Fieldfare in our garden. CH7 North Wales. Arrived a day or so ago. Last year only stayed for a short time, hopefully they might stay a little longer this year. Enjoying the apples I put out for them. Chasing off anything that gets too close to their food.
I also have a fieldfare who has stripped my cotoneaster of its berries over the past few days. A very aggressive bird - I feel quite sorry for my regular blackbirds.
Have also had about 10 redwings in my garden a lot this week - they don't appear to be eating anything though.
The greater spotted woodpecker was a real treat in the snow on Wednesday.

I have seen hundreds of them in the carpark at work in Berkshire in the last three days. See the attached photo.
They are stripping the berries from the pyracanthus.

I live in Ledbury Herefordshire ,we have had flocks of fieldfairs eating the berries right outside our living room ,i have counted 21 flocked so far
How about a flock of 100s of redwings with a few fieldfares mixed in eating the berries off the street trees in Holloway, N. London. Not exactly a rural location, but a wonderful sight, despite the mess they've left behind!

I think birds and wildlife in general will be taking a hammering during this exceptionally cold snap. We need to take some positives from it, and this urban showing of fieldfares/redwings is certainly one!
Hello everyone, The fieldfares and redwing have made it to the sussex coast. I live 100yards from the beach and i had 2 f/f and 4 r/w in the holly tree in my front garden all day today - brilliant!!!
Saw my first ever fieldfares at Chester Zoo yesterday. I'm really chuffed!
