Winter Visitor eating Crab Apples in a neighbours Garden. The Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) is a member of the thrush family Turdidae. It breeds in woodland and scrub in northern Europe and Asia. It is migratory, with many northern birds moving south during the winter. It is a very rare breeder in Great Britain and Ireland, but winters in Great Britain Particularly during severe winters in Europe. There have been few Fieldfares in recent winters; they have not even been attracted by windfall fruit. This behaviour has been noted elsewhere and a possible explanation is that winter thrushes - Fieldfares and Redwings - are finding invertebrates in the ground, which is remaining frost-free owing to global climate change. This may be just as well as hedge-flailing is removing the berries from hedgerows that Fieldfares and other winter thrushes would be feeding on. Now they only tend to be seen in very severe winters in Europe. The Fieldfare is 22-27 cm long, with a plain brown back, white underwings, and grey rump and rear head. The breast has a reddish wash, and the rest of the underparts are White. The breast and flanks are heavily spotted. The sexes are similar. Fieldfares breed in Scandinavia and the former Soviet Union including the Baltic States. In central Europe the breeding range has extended to Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and France. Sometimes an abundant winter visitor to Norfolk, the fieldfare's distribution varies, at times surprisingly, from winter to winter. The flocks arriving here soon make their way inland. Some years the first arrivals take place during August. In severe winters fieldfares are forced to retreat from East Anglia and they then head westward across the UK & the Irish Sea. By mid-November normal fieldfare emigration in Scandinavia is at an end unless weather conditions become severe. Then and particularly if the berry crop fails, 'weather migrants' may arrive in East Anglia at any time during December or even in January. Like waxwings, fieldfares are nomadic and show no allegiance to regular wintering areas.
