We had a couple of redwings on the firethorn (aka pyracanthus) in the back garden yesterday, distinguished by the yellow flashes or stripes to the throat, very conspicuous when viewed head on. The first of the year, and the first noticed since 10th December 2009 in the other place (http://www.pumpkinstrokemarrow.blogspot.co.uk/).
An oddity on the way in that while a Google search term like 'yarmouth images' usually brings up more pictures of Yarmouth (or whatever) than you could possibly want, a search term like 'thrush bird images' (you need the bird bit to exclude the unwanted disease) does no such thing, although you do get pointed to various thrush flavoured sites, including some who want to sell you pictures of same. While 'redwing images' produces more images of boots than birds. One can only suppose that http://www.redwingshoes.com/ has a higher grade of membership of the Google family than http://www.rspb.org.uk/.
