An apple a day

I pass by this apple tree on the way to work, and have wondered whether I'll catch sight of any birds tucking into the remaining fruit as I go by. A couple of days ago I spotted this Blackbird enjoying a healthy breakfast, and this morning it appeared again, joined by a companion. A handy source of energy at a time when food supplies are limited.

Redwing & Mistle Thrush on Queenswood Rugby Pitch

On the way into work, on the Queenswood rugby pitch there was a mixed flock of approximately 30 Redwing & Mistle Thrush. Overcast with fog & light drizzle meant that the light was poor & I struggled to get any pics of the flock on the grass. I identified a couple of Mistle Thrush at the near posts but the majority in the middle and far end of the field appeared rounder & more compact. Occasionally they'd fly up into the trees bordering the pitch & allotments where I was able to get a better view & identify them as Redwing, Ive included a few pics just to confirm my sightings.
