Redwing

Redwings have been arriving for a couple of months now with a couple of sightings in September 

By mid October many 100's arrived on a foggy day, falling out of the air with other thrushes

This particular one didn't seemed bothered about my close approach and started to preen

Even today we have a dozen or so feeding in a sheep field, there short hop and listen an easy indication of there Identification

A couple of nights ago several passed overhead calling, perhaps indicating another fall

Getting a bit quiet now for migrants although a few Turtle Doves, Hen Harrier, Desert Wheatear (sadly killed by a Merlin) and the odd Waxwing knocking about
