Another bird in the bush and some shadows

This shy individual is a Fieldfare, attracted by the particular berries on this tree.
In late summer the tree looks like this, but the birds have stripped it almost bare.
None of the regular visiting birds ever touch these berries, apart from the occasssional pigeon.  Sparrows, robins, blackbirds etc all ignore them, but they attract Redwings and Feildfares to come into our garden, when we otherwise would never see them.

And now for something completely different...
Another shadow that amost makes the TV look as if it is switched on.
