Fieldfares 01-11-2006

Shaun and I had a walk around Cononley Ings this morning. Lots of birds on the flooded fields including a Pintail, 20 Wigeon, 100 Teal and over 500 Lapwing, but we witnessed a big movement of Fieldfare. We counted about 1500 birds flying in up to 4 groups at different heights and from the north-east/east towards the south-west. The conditions were supreb.

Cheers,
Paul King.
