Are they Redwings?…. I’ll post a photo of the ones we have here in the garden later…. Although I haven’t managed any good ones yet as they are pretty quick and pretty timid.

Keep telling Noick I need a new lens!!!

Anyway, I’m actually not all that good with birds, and we have had about half a dozen of ‘something’ in the garden all weekend. They are about the size of a fat blackbird, almost large robin shaped(?) Brown with a few spots down the front, red flashes on the wings and a yellow stripe through the eye.

Any ideas? Probably something really ordinary with it’s winter plumage. Will try to get a pic at some point.
