One of my favourites, the Fieldfare
Redwing and Fieldfare, check the size difference
A Redwing, the smaller of the two and no, its wings aren't red!
After the cold blow over the weekend its been an interesting few days. I finally found a wintering Blackcap, a lovely looking male watched foraging with of all things, the Chaffinch flock...slightly bizarre! Our Scandinavian Thrushes have reappeared and particularly favour the rough paddocks at the back of Kings Lock Cottage. There are at least 60 Fieldfare intermixed with around 30 Redwing and both species, plumage wise, are looking rather dapper!
