Fieldfare is a migratory bird which breeds in Northern Europe and Asia but moves South during winter. In Romania, he is resident of the Northern regions and a visitor of plain fields.
I had a great opportunity to spot this little beauty in our garden. We have a bush of Thuja orientalis and one of Juniperus communis – full of fruits. I think this is the main reason why he was around our garden.

Good pictures. I haven;t seen a fieldfare here this year though there have been some about.
Thank you.
I read yeaterday that fieldfare winters in large numbers in the United Kingdom.
They do and we often see them in the fields round about us but I haven’t seen any this year.
No matter why it lingered in your garden, I’m glad that it did, as you were able to get some wonderful photos of it!
Thank you.
It’s interesting how many times you are on the fields searching for birds and nothing happens, and sometimes you may find them right in your garden.
You always get the most extraordinary photos of birds, Cornell. Well done again!
Thank you very much!
I was very glad to see this beautiful bird. I think now it’s gone, I haven’t seen it since last week.
Very nice indeed Cornell!
Thank you.
Was a pleasure to see this bird. I am glad had the opportunity to take a few pictures of it.
Beautiful captures, Cornell! I’m so glad you got the opportunity to sight the Fieldfare. What an interesting name!
Thank you!
It seems fieldfare comes from Anglo-Saxon word ‘feldefare’ – traveller through the fields.
