    Numbers seem to have peaked here: flocks of twenty or more a couple of days ago, just one bird so far today. Thanks for your comments, stay safe and well. John

    Several days having passed, and the weather being more favorable, this chick was also out exploring between feedings. First time I've seen a Redwing chick :D

    On a cooler day

    I went back to the cemery again on a day the birds (and I) weren't panting from the heat.

    You're blocking the shade!

    It may, up to a point, have been my fault this Redwing was suffering just then. I was standing in a temptingly shady and breezy spot. Eventually the Redwing gathered her/his courage and flew to a headstone near me in at least partial shade.

    And it's you humans' fault!

    Norway isn't (yet, at any rate) in the kind of climate trouble that many other places are, but we're headed there, especially as the oceans warm and the Gulf Stream slows down. This Redwing was also panting that day.

    Going with a color theme today, and as these were all taken the day after May 1st, the color is (still a bit) red. ;)

    From Friday, perhaps the last until next winter. Got two shots: in both, very little red is evident. See you in the morning folks. Thanks for the comments, stay well. John

    redwing or song thrush or hybrid? [Pictures] (Greece)

    On February 20th I was birding in my back yard and I noticed a thrush. It was the first time I ever saw a thrush so I was skeptical. At first I Identified it as a song thrush (notice the arrow-shaped brown spots) but afterwards I looked up other pictures of song thrushes and none of them had...

    To me this one looks a youngster. In The Netherlands the Redwing is named ´´Koperwiek´´ (Copperwing), I suppose because of the rusty-red flanks and underwing.

    Hello From Old Kilpatrick

    Hi 👋 I am incorporating birdwatching into my daily walks so as to add some distraction to the many steps i am taking, I am very lucky to have a variety of places to walk locally, Hills, Canalside and even a natural marsh, so i see lots of variety. I have two queries if anyone has any ideas why...

    Why do birds mostly sit with branches in between us and them?

    This year we have had some redwings flitting about. They were kind enough to sit still when I opened the window.

    Redwing or Icelandic Redwing? January 30th, 2021, Dunes Dutch Coast

    Today I took these images of a group of foraging Redwings. I noticed that one was particularly dark (many dark stripes on breast and belly). Could this be the Icelandic subspecies (Turdus iliacus coburni)? Perhaps it's still not dark enough? In the attached image the candidate bird is shown 3...

    This Redwing was further away than the last one I posted, perched on a silver birch tree. The drops hanging from the branches are not from rain but newly melted snow. Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

    Taken a few days ago. The news this morning (Sunday) is that opening the curtains revealed a winter wonderland, with heavy snow falling. Snow this far south could mean it will be a "Fieldfare year". Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John
