Redwing ?

***Chocky*** · 17-12-2007, 05:56 PM

Does any one think this is a Redwing? the stripe over the eye and the reddish colour under it's wings tell me it might be . It's not a good photo but if it is I know where to find it and can go back. It was in a field full of donkeys and the donkes wanted my attention and kept standing in front of the camera

Certainly looks like one Chocky.

I though it was took me ages then I suddenly remembered the eye stripe.
Oh good thank you

I now know where the hang out. I like these birds, they were in a field with Thrushes too

Yes, they hang out with Thrushes and Fieldfare, a nice find Chocky.

Thanks. The only hurdle is the Donkeys. They want all the attention

Thanks Andy and Rolf.

I may go back tomorrow and see if I can capture some better clips. My camera kept steaming up and the Donkeys kept getting in the way. They wanted an apple but I don't feed animals only birds with wild bird food which I get from the pet shop
