Early glimpse of a Redwing....Horsham, Sussex

Last week I saw a redwing in my garden - hopping about eating berries on the ground ! coujldnt beleive my eyes, but it was there ! Could it have been an early scout, here before the weather changes ?

  • Hi Lizzie

    Thanks for posting. Whilst it is pretty early for them, the main influx won't be for another month or so yet, we have had a fall of wrynecks recently so it would be no surprise if one or two other species made use of the weather conditions to make a move. Did you get a picture? It's worth reporting via Birdtrack.net

  • Blimey that is early, I usually know Winter is around the corner when they arrive
