Redwing
Turdus iliacus
Adult redwings are small migratory thrushes of woodland, hedgerows, orchards, and open fields, especially in winter across much of Europe. They forage on the ground for earthworms and insects in mild weather, then switch heavily to berries such as hawthorn and rowan when conditions turn cold. The rusty-red flanks and underwing are their most notable field marks, often flashing as they take flight.
