Saturday Fun.....
.... or I'm out of here!

There was a different-shaped lump sitting in the tree that morning, so I grabbed the camera, zoomed in to try and get a close view .... clicked and off he went.

It was only much later on that day, when a few more came in, that I was able to confirm my thoughts on it being a Fieldfare.

This was a January visit and the light and everything was too awful to get decent images. So I was actually quite pleased at how well this one turned out; still feels it qualifies for SF though!

Kevin said what I was going to-off like a rocket. Look at the good side, at least you caught it in flight.

You can just see those speckles on his flanks and the yellowish tone under them further up, but I'd never have got the ID without you having seen them come back for more later. Great "fun"-shot ;)
