I hope not as a mistle thrush and a stormcock are the same bird but they are definitely not a feildfareTitle: Re: WHATS ANOTHER NAME FOR A FIELDFAIR. Post by: saxonman on January 13, 2010, 07:47:08 PM SORRY BOYS I THINK GEOF IS RIGHT.....MISTLE THRUSH IS WHAT I WAS AFTER....BUT IM SURE THATS A NAME FOR IT TO..UNLESS ITS ANOTHER NAME FOR A REDWING.
SO FIELDFAIR IS EITHER STORMCOCK AND MISTLE THRUSH FIELDFAIR IS REDWING OR MISTLE THRUSH...........WE WILL HAVE TO CHECK THE BOOKS.ON THAT ONE. DO NO THIS THO....ANOTHER NAME FOR BUTCHER BIRD? Title: Re: WHATS ANOTHER NAME FOR A FIELDFAIR. Post by: Legacy Hunter on January 13, 2010, 08:07:33 PM INTERESTING
Title: Re: WHATS ANOTHER NAME FOR A FIELDFAIR. Post by: saxonman on January 13, 2010, 08:35:09 PM CHEF IS RIGHT......REWING IS A REDWING.................FIELDFARE IS A FIELDFARE......THESE ARE OFTEN FOUND IN TOGETHER DURING THE WINTER MONTHS OVER HERE,AND CAN SUFFER FROM SEVERE WETHER ...
THE MISTLE THRUSH IS ALSO KNOWN AS A STORMCOCK.THE NAME DERIVES FROM ITS HABIT OF SINGING IN THE TOP OF TREES IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM..THIS BIRD AND THE SONG THRUSH WHICH IS SMALLER ARE NATIVE TO BRITON... HOWEVER THE REDWING HAVE NESTED IN THE TOP OF SCOTLAND IN THE PAST,AND ONE PAIR OF FIELDFARES IN ARGYLESHIRE A WHILE BACK HAS BEEN RECORDED.THESE NEST IN SCANDANAVIOR.. ALL THESE BIRDS ARE MEMBERS OF THE THRUSHES! THE BIRD IN MY NEXT DOORS GARDEN WAS A FIELDFARE,IT HAD BLUEY FEATHERS ON TOP AND WAS THE SIZE OF A MISTLE THRUSH..PS.(THEY LIKE MISTLTOE BERRYS.)..GWIL Title: Re: WHATS ANOTHER NAME FOR A FIELDFAIR. Post by: SimonH on January 13, 2010, 08:36:18 PM Fieldfare, Redwing, Mistle Thrush & Song Thrush are 4 seperate bird species all belonging to the thrush family. So a fieldfare cannot be the same as a mistle thrush. ;)
