Redwing
Turdus iliacus
In the enchanting season of winter, Redwings choose Britain as their cosy haven where they can feast of fruits, berries, and earthworms. As the sun begins to warm the air and spring tiptoes closer, these delightful birds gather in cheerful flocks with their thoughts set on Scandinavia and Russia. And did you know? The Redwing holds the title of being the UK's tiniest true thrush! With its charming creamy stripe above the eye and those striking orange-red patches on its flanks, it truly adds a splash of joy to any landscape it graces.
