I saw a flock of birds today trying to head east in to a very strong head wind, unfortunately they were too far away to get a good ID. Definitely looked Thrushy though, 25 to 30 of them. If they were Fieldfares then these are the first I have seen in this area since December.

It's been a poor winter up here for Fieldfare and Redwing too, nothing like the numbers of the previous winter. Most flocks I've seen have been under fifty, and frequently only twos and threes.

Fieldfares have started arriving here on my local patch in SW Norway during the last several days.

I got my first Redwings of the year today as well - about 40 at the Memorial Park.
