Redwing (10950243535)
Description:
Description: Taken and Ringed at pitsford, On sat there was a modest ringing session at Pitsford Res utilising the Old Scaldwell Road feeding station produced a nice variety of birds including quite a few Goldfinches and Greenfinches, a Redwing and an adult male Lesser Redpoll. But it also conjured up all the usual stuff to!! On Sunday there was a little ringing at Kelmarsh Hall this morning resulted in 36 birds being captured in a single net, the highlights being a Goldcrest, a Marsh Tit and 12 Goldfinches. But again conjured up all the usual stuff again!! The redwing is most commonly encountered as a winter bird and is the UK's smallest true thrush. Its creamy strip above the eye and orange-red flank patches make it distinctive. They roam across the UK's countryside, feeding in fields and hedgerows, rarely visiting gardens, except in the coldest weather when snow covers the fields. Only a few pairs nest in the UK. Status: Red Population: Breeding: 2-17 pairs Wintering: 685,000 birds. Date: 16 November 2013, 09:00. Source: Redwing. Author: Jacob Spinks from Northamptonshire, England.
