These birds were spotted in my Dad's field in Cornwall during the month of February. They haven't been around since mid March.
Can anyone help in identifying them - many thanks!

Hello EM and welcome to the Forum, as HawkBuzzard states they are Redwings. They come into our country in the winter to eat our fruits and fly back north to breed.
More info about them here.. http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/r/redwing/index.aspx
Thank you HawkBuzzard and Juno - we had been wondering for a while.
Excellent quick response from you both!
Many thanks
Em
no problem : )
