New Fieldfare 007

Learn something new every day... ("new")
After work, a 2-hour school run then helping at Brownies followed by a committee meeting, I didn't have time to snap any feet or any loving, so was so glad I snapped this shot earlier in the day. My friend pointed out a 'fieldfare' on her pyrocantha ... if I had seen one before I may have thought it was a thrush but wasn't aware they even existed.. Encouraged by Sean's @seanoneill shots of birds through glass I took this, and was quite pleased.
So touched by your views and comments on my misty lines shot - looking forward to the spring so I can show you what it usually looks like! Thank you so much, and TGIF!

@seanoneill Not as stunning as your shots but thanks for the inspiration and letting me realise you can take shots through glass! :)

Beautiful caputre. Haven't seen any this year - but had a small flock on the hawthorn berries last winter.

Fabulous Phil, a real peach of a "thru the window" shot. Glad to be oblige :))

I too thought it was a thrush. Clear shot for a 'through glass' shot without picking up loads of reflection

Wow! - I love to learn something new - but the poor bird has such an unfortunate latin name! Love your dof and composition!
