EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness the incredible dining habits of a Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) in action. This adult bird has found itself on a shingle track in Norfolk, England during the chilly month of January. But instead of searching for worms or berries like its thrush relatives, this clever creature has discovered an unconventional treat - grit! With its beak wide open and eyes gleaming with excitement, our feathered friend is caught red-beaked as it indulges in some roadside snacking. Who needs fast food when you can have a mouthful of crunchy goodness from the ground? Known for their migratory nature, these European beauties have traveled all the way from Eurasia to enjoy the temperate winter climate along Britain's coastlines. And what better place to satisfy their cravings than Norfolk's maritime Atlantic region? This photo perfectly captures not only their unique feeding behavior but also showcases the stunning coastal landscape that serves as their temporary home away from home. So next time you're out exploring East Anglia and stumble upon a fieldfare taking a pit stop on a shingle track, remember to appreciate their resourcefulness and love for gourmet road trip snacks!
