LATE FIELDFARE AT SALTFLEETBY ON MAY-17

Fieldfares are in worn plumage at this time of the year but this one, presumably a male because of the amount of black below the eye for one thing, does not appear to have obtained its full breeding plumage. The bill has not quite reached the full yellow of a breeding bird; some, apparently, keep a dusky tip to the bill whilst others obtain a fully yellow bill. Fieldfares I have seen in Moscow were feeding young by now whilst in Lapland mid-May to early June sees the onset of the breeding season.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
