Redwings visit our gardens here in winter - normally in mixed flocks with fieldfares, and very often at Christmas. They come south from Scandinavia looking for food - they especially like anywhere with fallen fruit. They are often seen in the gardens near Upper Green and there will be loads in Tewin Orchard if it is cold.   Here they are perched on one of St Peter's kneelers.  Hoping you are more likely to see Redwings than snow this Christmas.
