Redwing and Fieldfare - Broomfield Track 28/03/20

My daily walk today began well when I came across a small flock of 6 Redwing feeding in the paddock. One of the birds was particularly obliging and gave me the opportunity for some of the best views of this beautiful bird I have had this year.

3 Song Thrush were also feeding in the same area and I could not resist a photo as one came near on its way past. I could hear a Little Owl calling but could not see it and several Blackbirds were also busily searching for food in the same paddock.

The rest of the walk remained quite quiet with no sign of anything new in. Skylarks were singing away and a single Meadow Pipit called as it moved from the field. I finished the walk with some distant views of 5 Fieldfare in the lower paddock. One individual was particularly beautifully marked.
