Redwing (Turdus iliacus), Gloucestershire

My winter thrush finally arrives at my neighbour's rowan tree, only to find that the blackbirds have already scoffed all the berries. You can almost see this bird's disappointment! (Which was mine too!).

 

Widespread breeding bird across northern Europe and Asia, migrating south in winter. British birds come from Scandinavia and Iceland, although there is a small breeding population in northern Scotland.
