The flocks of Redwings and Fieldfares from N. Europe are one of winter's
great delights.

I'm really bad at bird id but what else do these like to eat, apart from
apples? I don't think we've ever seen them here. Thrushes of any kind
seem scarce, unortunately.

In the case of Fieldfares, it is the hawthorn berries that they are after.
We have a particular canalside untrimmed hedge they visit annually.
Watching them is a delight indeed !
