These have just started feeding in our pyrocanthus tree.
Can someone please identify them ?  
Many thanks |

Redwings- a species of thrush which is a common nomadic winter visitor from northern Europe. I've been seeing plenty in the last couple of weeks. |

They are Redwing, a member of the Thrush family and are mostly a winter visitor, they like berries and other fruits. |

Hi Pierman, and welcome to WAB!
It's a Redwing - named after the red colouring by the wing/tail area. It comes to the UK every winter in good numbers and is often seen in berry-bearing bushes.
Take care, Jason  |

Take care, Jason | Not sure about red by the tail! Red underwing coverts + along the flanks.
Certainly worth checking any fruiting trees/bushes, but also short grass such as playing fields/parks/lawns + also turning over leaves in shrubber, woodland, hedges, etc.ies |
