Turdus pilaris Linnaeus, 1758
Turdidae — Thrushes
Fieldfare, Turdus pilaris, is a thrush that breeds across the western Palearctic from western Europe to eastern Russia. In the nonbreeding season it reaches North Africa and Iceland. It is a member of the family Turdidae and was described by Linnaeus in 1758. The bird nests in woodland and scrub, and its breeding range includes northern Europe. It is a very scarce breeder in the British Isles. Outside the breeding season, many birds move south and gather in large flocks, often alongside redwings.
