I'm most envious in fact of that number of fieldfares, we get reasonable numbers of redwings but I've only ever seen the occasional fieldfare in with them. <BR/><BR/>Being in the midst of so many starlings fliying in formation would be wonderfulCrafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.com
