This is the time of year when there are major influxes of many of the Thrush family from Scandinavia and further east, including Blackbird, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Redwing and Fieldfare. They are quite tolerant of one another and will sometimes congregate in large flocks. If you know where there are trees and bushes still containing berries and watch them regularly, then you are likely to see some of these birds feeding. Old fruit put out on the lawn can be a good for attracting most of the thrush family, mix this with fat balls, bacon rind, various nuts and seeds and you never know what you may attract.
