    Also saw a flock of Lapwings in West Berkshire week before last.

    Aren't mistle thrush here all year:confused:

    Has anyone seen any fieldfare yet?

    I saw a couple of what could have have been either one of the above on Sunday. I didn't get a god enough look at them to see properly. Fairly big, with pale brown underparts. They were in the grass at the side of the road and took off with a bit of a cackle landing at the far end of the adjoining field. They actually seemed bigger than mistlethrush at the time but I'm useless at guaging size :o I thought I would recognise mistlethrush more readily thus wondering if fieldfare are around yet.

    Yes, I saw my first lastnight in Phoenix park, plus Redwing and Mistle Thrush - here's the difference between the two:

    Above is a Fieldfare, seen phoenix park 12th October

    csc_0268.jpg

    and that's a Mistle Thrush 12th October. The Mistle Thrush is a little bigger.

    I also saw about 20 Swallows last night, some Redwings and some Jays - more photos here if you're interested http://drimnaghbirdwatch.wordpress.com/
