[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) is a member of the thrush family Turdidae. Its English name, dating back to at least the eleventh century, is obscure, though it seems to derive from an Anglo-Saxon word *feldefare meaning "traveller through the fields", probably from their constantly moving, foraging habits.[2] It was described by Linnaeus in his Systema naturae (1758) under its current scientific name.[3]

It breeds in woodland and scrub in northern Europe and Asia. It is strongly migratory, with many northern birds moving south during the winter. It is a very rare breeder in Great Britain and Ireland, but winters in large numbers in these countries.

It nests in trees, laying several eggs in a neat nest. Unusually for a thrush, they often nest in small colonies, possibly for protection from large crows. Migrating birds and wintering birds often form large flocks, often with Redwings.

It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects and earthworms in summer, and berries in winter.

The Fieldfare is 22-27 cm long, with a plain brown back, white underwings, and grey rump and rear head. The breast has a reddish wash, and the rest of the underparts are White. The breast and flanks are heavily spotted. The sexes are similar,

The male has a simple chattering song, and a chattering flight and alarm call.

Hello Russu,
Wonderful start on TN with this great photo. Welcome. Excellent timing, very beautiful clear and natural colours, a marvelous frontal POV and very good sharpness. I hope to see a lot more of these beauties!

Salut Doina si bun venit pe TN.
Se pare ca vei avea o inclinatie catre pasari: speram sa vedem cat mai multe forografii exceptionale cu pasari. Iar inceputul este foarte bun: ai surprins intr-o postura foarte comica dar naturala in acelasi timp acest sturz. Foarte clare detaliile, penajul superb evidentiat.
Toate cele bune
Oana

amazing capture, TFS Ori

Buna Doina.
Prima ta poza pe TN este superba.
Captura de exceptie a acestei pasari si un moment extraordinar in care ai fotografiat-o.
Felicitari si astept cu nerabdare si alte poze cel putin la fel de grozave.
Multe salutari.Alin.

Just perfect, Doina,
this moment is so wonderful and I love the good quality and the colours.
Excellent work, thanks and greetings
