We encountered a flock of redwings some twenty to thirty strong in the hedgerow near Rives Farm this morning, mixed in with several chaffinches and a couple of great tits. This is the first flock we've seen this winter, though we have seen several individuals.
Redwings are immigrants from Scandinavia which are usually most common when the food supply there is becoming scarce and they're looking for more gentle conditions. Sadly....
