I'm curious to know if Red-winged Blackbirds are common in the UK as they are here. It's really hard to get a photo of one in flight showing the red shoulders. I did get a couple pics of them at Lindo Lake in Lakeside, CA, 01-27-03. The first pic will show the Blackbird perched. The second one will show the the red shoulder markings displayed while making it's calls
Here is Photo #1: Red-winged Blackbird perched and quiet.
