A special visitor

Seems the winter must have been pretty bad this year, as we were visited by a female Fieldfare. They are usually found in Scotland, but if the winter is bad, will move south into England. Well how bad must it have been this year then, for it to have moved all the way into Oxfordshire? Quite a rare find by all accounts.

We see her now again in the neighbour's apple tree. She's yet to come into our garden, but we're hoping the neighbourhood blackbird will encourage her in?
