Redwing under the feeders
There are plenty of Redwing and Fieldfare showing in the fields around Stithians southern cut - off at the moment which probably accounts for the lack of shows from the pair of local Sparrowhawk at the feeders but today was the first time that I have seen the Redwing foraging under the feeder assembly as opposed to fly-byes, Other birds snapped were several male and female Reed Bunting, A pair of Great Spotted Woodpecker, A dozen or so feisty Chaffinch and a couple of pairs of Blackbird, Out on the water was quite today but for a single Chiffchaff foraging amid semi submerged margin foliage and the Male Mandarin did put in a brief show late afternoon but being infamous for being quite skitty as he was, he took offence at the sound of my shutter and departed leaving me with a final flight shot.
