Wacholderdrossel (turdus pilaris) - Fieldfare
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacholderdrossel

Die Wacholderdrossel (Turdus pilaris) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Drosseln (Turdidae). Diese große Drosselart besiedelt die mittlere und nordöstliche Paläarktis von Schottland und dem mittleren Frankreich nach Osten bis zum Amur in Sibirien. Sie bewohnt halboffene Landschaften, in Mitteleuropa vor allem Waldränder und Baumgruppen mit angrenzendem feuchtem Grünland. Die Art hat ihr Areal in den letzten etwa 200 Jahren stark nach Westen ausgedehnt und ist heute im östlichen Mitteleuropa ein mäßig häufiger Brutvogel. Die Wacholderdrossel ist überwiegend Kurzstreckenzieher und verbringt den Winter vor allem in Mittel- und Südwesteuropa sowie im Mittelmeerraum.

Die Art wurde früher Krammetsvogel (seltener: Kramtsvogel, Krammetvogel oder Krummetvogel) genannt, der Name ist abgeleitet von der alten Bezeichnung Krammet (auch: Kranewitt) für den Wacholder.

Fieldfare
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fieldfare

The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) is a member of the thrush family Turdidae. It breeds in woodland and scrub in northern Europe and across the Palearctic. It is strongly migratory, with many northern birds moving south during the winter. It is a very rare breeder in the British Isles, but winters in large numbers in the United Kingdom, Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of molluscs, insects and earthworms in the summer, and berries, grain and seeds in the winter.

Fieldfares often nest in small colonies, possibly for protection from predators. The nest is built in a tree where five or six eggs are laid. The chicks are fed by both parents and leave the nest after a fortnight. There may be two broods in southern parts of the range but only one further north. Migrating birds and wintering birds often form large flocks, often in the company of redwings.

The fieldfare is 25 cm (10 in) long, with a grey crown, neck and rump, a plain brown back, dark wings and tail and white underwings. The breast and flanks are heavily spotted. The breast has a reddish wash and the rest of the underparts are white. The sexes are similar in appearance but the females are slightly more brown. The male has a simple chattering song and the birds have various guttural flight and alarm calls.
