I left some bread from my sandwiches for this bird that was clearly struggling.
Fieldfae eat fruit and berries in the winter when the ground is too frozen to find worms and grubs - in January 2018 the fruit and berries had been eaten up and the ground frozen for a long time. Many thrushes succumbed to a combination of starvation and cold.
