Adge Cutler Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) I was out picking Blackberries yesterday afternoon.. and observed the first early Redwings of the season.. 2 of them along with several blackbirds feasting on what looked like a viburnum gone wild just outside the village in Stroud. Looking at my Bird record note books which go back to 1982 this is the earliest I've recorded them since 84 -85...and we all know how bad that winter was... I wonder ? I wonder also how two birds manage to home in on that particular bush amongst thousands of Haws, Dogwood, Elder etc.. ?

sako751sg Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Very early indeed or at least up here. Thinking about it the last time i seen decent flocks was a good few years ago but then with the mild winters they havent really struggled much.
