It is a member of the Thrush family.  A very social birds, it spends the winter in flocks of anything from a dozen to several hundred. Up to one million Fieldfares cross the North Sea each October. To some extent the autumn movements of flocks are resource-determined, leading to significant variability in the numbers reaching Britain & Ireland. From ringing recoveries, we see that some birds return annually to the same local orchards whilst others may wander in completely different directions in two consecutive autumns.  Read more.....BTO Fieldfare 

The painting is on Cold Press, extra heavy, off white Crescent art board and I aim to produce the finest detail in both the subject and its natural setting.  The shade of the Daler mountboard is carefully selected depending on the painting, as is the toning of the frame itself.
