c. 15 Fieldfare, several Redwings, Nuthatch

Fog, 4°C.

Fairly thick fog this morning prevented much from being seen, apart from a few Redwings in a Holly Tree, and a brief Nuthatch in Pavilion Wood.  Just beyond here, I heard the unmistakeable sound of Fieldfares chakking from the gloom, and picked out several feeding in a bramble.  They soon flew off to the top of a sycamore. I've managed to bring some detail out in one with some post processing, but the picture of those in the Sycamore shows the conditions rather more accurately!
