Re: Bird id please
Possibly a redstart? Used to see them on my old school field years ago along with fieldfares and other birds that don't seem to be about much nowadays...

Think it might be a Redwing, not seen one in my garden before.

Soak some raisins & cut some apples in half - they love them.

Redwing. Not a redstart - they are much different in plumage. Redwing migrate in flocks, and pass through around the same time as Fieldfares. Have loads of them over here.

Bet they wished they stayed the other side of the North Sea this week, rather migrating to this

But since the snow they have appeared helping themselves to the mealworms we put out.
Thought he wagtails were aggressive until they arrived feathers everywhere.
The only bird they don't attack is the starlings, hope MJ don't get them or he wouldn't get the
Car back in the garage
All of our birds are enjoying a bath in the warm water

Re: Bird id please
Along with the Redwings and Fieldfares, you might get the odd Waxwing too.

Re: Bird id please
It's a Redwing. Very pretty little member of the thrush family. They are everywhere at the moment along with the Fieldfares. I'm surprised given the recent weather that more people are not reporting Waxwings too.

Re: Bird id please
I saw a small flock (of what I now realise were fieldfares) only yesterday. Stopped the car to look at them, as they were not a bird I've seen locally in Derbyshire. Thanks for the ID
