This weekend...will you be seeing red?

...or maybe a bit of grey will be more your colour this weekend?

This week, our Wildlife Enquiries team have been inundated with queries about these beautiful birds - redwings and fieldfares. So if these birds are now as familiar to you as your usual robin and blackbird, you're not alone.

You see, they might be regular winter visitors, but as they can usually find enough food in the countryside to keep them going they don't really need to bother us humans in their search for juicy bites to eat. However, with the cold weather that's been circulating round the UK recently, these delightful birds have been quite literally flocking into gardens. Making them much more visible to everyone.

So this weekend, keep an eye out for both of these great-looking birds. It might just be your best chance to spot them before they start preparations for their journey back home.

Do let me know if you spot any fieldfares or redwings this weekend. Just leave me a comment below.
