The fieldfare is a thrush that calls northern Europe and the Palearctic home during summer. Come winter, it migrates south in large flocks, often stopping in the UK and beyond. It’s a versatile eater, switching from insects and worms in summer to berries and seeds in colder months.

  • It breeds in woodlands and scrubby areas.
  • Winter brings it to Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
  • Its diet shifts from insects in summer to berries in winter.
