Another one of our Winter visitors from the Scandinavian countries.
The Redwing from the Thrush family is often observed along with flocks of Fieldfare. I normally observe them in ones and twos and only occasionally with Fieldfare.
This is the a Redwing showing off his 'Red' wing, which is more orange than red I think, depending how the light catches it.

heerlijke winters aandoende mooie opnames Roy hier kan ik echt van genieten.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nic. Ik denk dat je zal veel Koperwiek zien in uw omgeving.
DeleteLovely photos of the Redwings. It is a delight seeing them again. The Redwings and Fieldfares are still too high up in the trees for a decent photo with my camera - no doubt we'll get some cold weather in the New Year to bring them down into the garden.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas!
Thanks Wendy, not too much cold please.{:))
DeleteHappy Christmas.
he's a lovely bird the Redwing Roy; you got great photos of it. (Rather like the 'Black Kite' I've included in my post tonight - which really is brown!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole. There are some inappropriate names in the Bird World.
DeleteThat is a lovely bird, Roy. I've always loved the thrushes and their spotty, streaky breasts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wilma, Yes they are always worth a photo.
DeleteA beautiful bird to see and photograph Roy (if you can get close enough!). A lovely set of images...[;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks Trevor.
DeleteHi Roy, you're lucky seeing these birds, they are beautiful. I like your new header also, very nice!
ReplyDeleteKind regards,
Marianne the Red-breasted-goose-woman ;-)
Thanks Marianne.{:))
DeleteHi Roy,
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting caught up with your recent post, all the way back to "More Bullfinch". It looks like you are having a great end of autumn.
Hi Steve, I have been lucky with various sightings recently, which makes a change for this time of year.
DeleteI've thoroughly enjoyed your recent photos. We hope we'll see redwings on our holly at some point.
ReplyDeleteThe bullfinch pics are great as well.
Thanks Alison, yes you should be seeing Redwings now and on into the New Year.
DeleteLovely birds Roy.
ReplyDeleteBit of a bugger to get though at times. They spot me coming a mile away.
Thanks Keith, I have been lucky with these this Autumn for a change.
DeleteReally like that first shot! What a beautiful bird!
