Redwing was a bit of a surprise in my garden outside Tregaron today but 2 days ago there were about 30 Fieldfares just up the lane. Strange to watch a winter bird whilst listening to a chiffchaff in full voice!
On the Nest Record Scheme forum there are country-wide reports of nesting even, in Norfolk,blackbirds being big enough to ring! Everyone praying there won't be a dramatic return to winter which would scupper the lot.
