  Fieldfare - LoveToKnow 1911
FIELDFARE (O.E. fealofor=fallow-farer), a large species of thrush, the Turdus pilaris of Linnaeus - well known as a regular and common autumnal visitor throughout the British Islands and a great part of Europe, besides western Asia, and even reaching northern Africa.
The head, neck, upper part of the back and the rump are grey; the wings, wing-coverts and middle of the back are rich hazelbrown; the throat is ochraceous; and the breast reddish-brownboth being streaked or spotted with fl, while the belly and lower wing-coverts are white, and the legs and toes very darkbrown.
Structurally very like the fieldfare, but differing greatly in many other respects, is the bird known in North America as the "robin" - its ruddy breast and familiar habits reminding the early British settlers in the New World of the household favourite of their former homes.

The majority of the Fieldfares were caught within a couple of hours of dawn, however when ringers could stay longer useful numbers could be caught all day, particularly when the weather remained overcast and the nets less obvious.
Fieldfares are normally difficult to catch because they take off and land very steeply and stay in the tops of the trees when roosting.
Interestingly, fieldfares did seem to be present in Worcestershire in larger numbers than usual during the 2001-2002 winter and another large congregation was noticed in an orchard near Evesham.
