Fieldfare - Turdus pilaris
Canon 800mm f6.3 for 1/400th @ iso400
A member of the Thrush family roughly the size of a Mistle thrush - seen in flocks of up to a couple of hundred birds - mainly where there are trees bearing lots of berries - the Fieldfare will in varying flock sizes simply hoover up all the berries and move on.
They can be a tricky bird to photograph - and difficult to approach - particularly "flighty" and when there is a reasonable number of birds in the flock that's a lot of eyes on the photographer !!!
