No sooner had I prepared the post of the fieldfare than the other member of the thrush family that visits us in winter made an appearance in the garden - the redwing (Turdus iliacus). Smaller than its associate, and with distinctive red/orange flanks and underwing as well as a distinctive eye stripe, the redwings posed for me just as conveniently as the fieldfares. Both species had been drawn to our garden by the leftovers from a meal we had given to our grandchildren and a dish of water.
