Oh, I saw a Redwing yesterday whilst walking the dog. I wondered what it was, at first i thought it was a thrush but knew it wasn't because of the red flash under the wings. I have never seen one before, and as a relatively new bird watcher i was excited! Thanks for confirming my identification! Em
Hi Marjus
Great pictures of the Redwing, MarJus
You have got him with his beak wide open too.
Em Hi, and welcome to the RSPB Forum
Glad to hear of your experiences of Redwings too - great sighting for you.
Regards
Kathy and Dave

Thanks Kathy, and a berry just visible going down his throat!

I am a new visitor to the Forum today and I too have seen Redwings in my garden for the first time. They have appeared on the same day as their friends the Fieldfares. Nothing new for months and then four new visitors to the back garden (which is quite enclosed) in 24 hours: woodpecker, pied wagtail, 4+ fieldfares and 2+ redwings.
For the last week I've been blessed with a flock of Red Wings coming in after the last of the Hawthorn berries. Not easy to approach though, must figure a way as I would love more photo's.

What a fantastic picture Snaphappy. You must be a professionsl photographer of note.
Hi Snaphappy
As you can see I made it onto here. Seems quite quick to me.
Thanks for the introduction.
