| | | First Redwings and Fieldfare 2009
Reasonable numbers of Redwing at Malham Tarn today (Monday 12th October), I heard the first ones on Saturday night/Sunday morning and there were a few around early doors Sunday. Today forty or fifty came through with a couple of Fieldfare and some Mistle Thrushes.

Good spot Rob, not seen/heard any here yet, but must be close.
Doesnt seem such a good Haw year as last year though.
Always see loads in November above Kettlewell, the Hawthorns and woods rt hand side upstream going towards Starbotton. Pint in the Fox n hounds to savour too.................. 
Cheers
Ken

Saw a few Redwing today in Sussex but haven't been able to get out much past few weeks so there's probably more around than I saw! |

I saw my first fieldfares this morning - they did not hang around to be photographed.

After the first sighting over the weekend we've had a steady movement (100's in total) of both Redwing and Fieldfare through this part of the Dales all day to day (Wed 14th Oct) so expect to see them elsewhere fairly shortly (also lots of blackbirds and mistle thrushes and starling with them too).

In the last couple of days in the South Pennines thousands of redwings have been reported by various vis' mig' watchers. I spent the weekend at Spurn and there were lots of redwings about, but only a single fieldfare.

Ah didn't see this thread, my first Fieldfare in Oldham today, a good spot for me as I've never seen one before. Hoping that I'll some Redwings next and possibly even Waxwings, I'm at Oldham College this year where some arrived last year so fingers crossed some do the same.
