Although there are a few resident breeding pairs in Scotland, most of the Fieldfares Turdus pilaris seen in Britain arrive in autumn escaping the harsh winters of Scandinavia. They feed in loose flocks on common land and farmland, feeding on invertebrates and berry trees, and often mingle with redwings and golden plover. In frosty conditions they descend in noisy flocks into hawthorn or rowan trees to devour the nutritious berries, migrating north and east in April.
