This fieldfare was walking around on the outskirts of the park. I passed by and paid attention to him because he did not fly away, although I got quite close to him. He lifted his head and looked at me with interest. I stopped and looked at him too. This went on for several minutes. Then, apparently, the fieldfare decided that I did not pose a danger to him and again began to busily scatter leaves in search of insects.
I began to watch him and tried to move very carefully. However, he tried to keep a distance between us. I also tried not to get too close to him. So we walked in circles around the clearing. I already liked this kind of game. The rules of which were on both sides of the minimum distance.
It's good that in this place I was alone and no one could interfere with us in this game.
I could clearly see how deftly fieldfare pulls out worms from under the leaves and immediately swallows them. The location was good. Worms came across often. I never thought that there could be so many worms under fallen leaves. But the birds knew this well. Apparently nature taught them how to get their own food in this way.
The weather was warm, there was no wind. I didn't rush anywhere. Therefore, I enjoyed watching this bird. He seemed to be in a good mood too. The large number of worms he found apparently had a positive effect on his mood.
Sometimes he stopped. Raised his head. Looked all around. But then he again began to search for insects. I followed him but tried not to disturb him.
There were no other birds around. So fieldfare didn't worry about anyone taking his prey from him. In addition, my presence inspired that I was a kind of his protector and other birds would not dare to fly up to us close.
So we walked for quite a long time. Of course, I was pleased to see him, how he deftly takes out food from under the leaves. But I decided to go further and look at other birds. I slowly stepped back and left this fieldfare alone.
