Redwings in a West Sussex garden in Cuckfield

 Click to expand pictures.














Up to seven blackbirds feed together here.
Time for Fieldfares to join the feast.  See https://sussexrambler.blogspot.com/2017/12/a-solitary-fieldfare-discovered-fallen.html
11.00hr and there are at least six redwings now; three bathing in the pond.





The redwings are ignoring the apples and just foraging amongst the leaves on the wildflower lawn.
At 21cm the redwing above chased off the larger song thrush at 23cm.  source:https://shopping.rspb.org.uk/bird-reference-books/rspb-handbook-of-british-birds-4th-edition.html
