First recorded

Fieldfares are migratory birds. They are winter visitors to most parts of the UK.

Nature’s Calendar monitors how early or late fieldfares arrive in the UK in the autumn/winter.

In a location that you monitor regularly (at least once a week), record the date in autumn/winter that you first see a live, active fieldfare after their summer absence from the UK. This is usually from mid-September.
