They're Here!

Walking home from the shops just now, I was looking up into a tree (as you do - well, as I do) and wondering why I hadn't seen a single Redwing or Fieldfare in the area this winter, when suddenly a small mixed flock of both - somewhere between a dozen and twenty - landed in that very tree (an ash), settled a moment to look around, then flew off again. Perhaps we shall have a cold spell after all.
