Redwing
Until 10 January this year, when three Redwings appeared on a distant tree, the last time I'd seen one was in February 2019 (ie there were none at all last winter). Several birds, including this one, were much closer this morning, albeit in poor light.

Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding!

I've only seen a quick fly past over the road when I was driving just before Christmas. So not even a year tick for me yet!!!

That's a right fine picture you've got there John - thanks for showing him to us my friend.
