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 :clap:.
Usually Greenfinch is the first :)

Excellent Fieldfare Kev. :clap:

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.
