It's a Redwing. A Scandinavian winter visitor.

A redwing? That's a new one for me. I better get my bird book out. This place is somewhere I hardly go but only 10 mins from my house. Lets just say I will be going again. There must have been well over 200 birds there. Lets just say I will be going again. I could have stayed there all day. So peaceful and quite.

Mmm I might have got a picture of the same kind of bird in the same kind of tree on saturday! I'll have to check my photos.

Aaahaah, the first fieldfare of the season. Congratz, Kev

Usually Greenfinch is the first

Excellent Fieldfare Kev.
P.S. Both Fieldfares and Redwings like to feed on the ground if weather conditions permit. If it is frosty look for them in the trees,if not on the ground.
