Fieldfares and Swallows Overlap

There are still a few swallows flying the skies around here, although the much cooler mornings must be a test for them Yesterday I saw a small flock of thrushes in the distance that looked like they could have been fieldfares. This morning I saw the same but also heard their distinctive calls. So, there is an overlap between the summer visitors and the over-wintering migrants.
I also saw a male blackcap this morning which could either have been a late-leaving summer resident or a visitor from northern areas.
