At this time of the year there are many wintering thrushes here in the Cotswolds. It is relatively mild here and they come in there thousands from Northern Europe and Scandinavia. I always enjoy seeing them as they come in flocks into the trees that contain berries. I bet the resident blackbirds and thrushes feel under threat the way they quickly strip the trees of berries. I would imagine in these great numbers that they are welcome addition to the menu of the resident Sparrowhawks!

These redwings were on my garden holly tree and this must be one of my shortest ever birding trips!
