Gratrost / Fieldfare (Turdus pilaris)

Took the kids out for a drive a bit north of we we are staying hoping to recce potential birding site later during the summer. On the map, noticed quite a few walking paths with beaches and small hills. Kids being kids, two minutes into the walk they are already whining about the heat (can you imagine that ... in Norway!!!) so instead of walking quietly they were whining loudly and picking up dandelions along the path.

We got lucky with one bird that was feeding young, I think it's a Fieldfare from the Thrush family.






Heard some raucous duck calling from just beyond the pines by the beach, unfortunately none of the kids had the will to walk over that little bump to get there. And I had not the will to push them further.
