It has taken charge of our Birch and Rowan trees on which I have hung some apples. Since it arrived this morning the Fieldfare has eaten its way through four of them, and I don't think it has finished yet!The Blackbirds, who usually chase away a visiting Song Thrush that come to feed, are getting a taste of their own medicine every time they approach the birch today as the Fieldfare protects its food supply.We also had a small flock of around 15-16 Redwings here this morning, although they only stayed for an hour or so. I didn't see any of them attempting to feed.</blockquote>
