Turdus Iliacus

I bet this wee beauty is happier with its normal name rather than its Latin one!!!!

“The redwing is most commonly encountered as a winter bird and is the UK's smallest true thrush. Its creamy strip above the eye and orange-red flank patches make it distinctive.
They roam across the UK's countryside, feeding in fields and hedgerows, rarely visiting gardens, except in the coldest weather when snow covers the fields. Only a few pairs nest in the UK.”

Spotted this in the caravan park today.
Not many leaves left on the trees now.
A bit of a pity
