These were taken in the South of Hungary, Feb 2009.
Blurry, guess I was freezing
But maybe someone can make something of them, I have no clue :eek!:
Thanks!

Hi Nicole. These are Fieldfares (Turdus pilaris).

Dangit - I should have put them down as my first guess
What threw me off was the brown back (the Collins shows the back quite different - but that might be the distance and the shaky hands influence too )

Thanks!

Btw.one more armchair tick out of my archives, hehe

Yes, the Collins shows them with their wings sort of hanging a bit, showing the grey on their lower back more. When they fold their wings over their back they look mostly brown. You can see the grey on the bottommost bird in the first photo.

Thanks!
Yup, after READING the ID description, I saw that the wing colour can also be more brownish
