Today I spent a good five hours working in the garden. It has been rather mild here in Mitcham, so I took the opportunity to rearrange the patio. When I had almost finished, I heard an unfamiliar call coming from the direction of the holly tree. There were dozens of Spadgers in there and something slightly larger. It was tucked away on the far side of the tree but as it moved around, I saw a small flash of red. When I returned with my camera, it had disappeared, so I started taking photos of the Spadgers. As I was doing that a group of about a dozen Redwings circled the garden. Some landed in the holly tree and others saw me and flew away. The ones that landed were rather skittish, but I managed to get a few reasonable pics before they started gorging on the berries on the far side of the tree. Blue skies always help.
