Not sure winter is coming too early, there haven't been any other Fieldfares reported anywhere on the east coast from Shetland to Kent. So don't worry yet. One or two Redwings though as you'd expect at this time of year.

I must admit I was very surprised to see them, their chattering atop of a small tree alerted me and stopped me in my tracks. I looked and counted them through the binoculars before they took flight.Definately Fieldfares.
