It always makes my day when I see a bird species for the first time. It's been quite a while since that happened. So on Friday morning I was really pleased when I saw a group of redwings foraging about on Ealing Common while I was walking from the tube station to my office. I got pretty close to them and they didn't seem bothered. They are very bright and breezy little creatures. They don't breed in Britain except in the Scottish Highlands, but they visit during winter when it gets too cold in their native Scandinavia.
My previous sighting of a new species was a few months ago when there were a pair of dunnocks in our garden. They were chasing and pecking each other which is something peculiar they do as part of courtship.
