It's mid-autumn now. Although it is still warm, the breath of cold weather is already felt. In the morning, drizzle appears on the roof and grass. At night, temperatures are often already below zero. But during the day it is quite good. The sun is still warm and the temperature reaches 15 degrees. There is no rain. Expansion for birds. There are many ripe rowan berries, slightly touched by the first frost.
Expansion is now for the blackbirds. Many trees have fallen leaves. Among them you can always find yourself a lot of food. They arrive at the glades and walk along it all day looking for various insects.
It's good that a bush is growing in the clearing. He still retained the foliage. Therefore, you can get pretty close to the fieldfare . The main thing is not to rush. You should always stop for a while if thefieldfare raise their heads and look at you. They assess the degree of danger you pose to them. If they do not move for a while, then they calm down and continue to look for food in the grass.
You can take pretty good pictures this way. Thrushes are keen on finding insects so they are not very fearful at this time of year. Where the grass is dense, thrushes generally hide in it and you can come very close to them. True, it is impossible to take good photographs of fieldfare in the grass.
Of course, it's good when the weather is fine in autumn and there is no rain. The birds flock and can be easily seen. The chicks have grown up and they are looking for food only for themselves. But every day the cold is getting closer. Many birds are already congregating in warmer regions, where it is not so cold.
