Redwing Bonanza at Warnham LNR

Redwing - Ian Nicol
As many of you are aware the bush in the front of the Visitor Centre at Warnham LNR always plays host to a greedy flock of Thrushes in late winter. After a few frosts the berries become soft enough for the birds to be able to digest and then they come in the 10's! Our highest count so far is 17 Redwing, 1 Song Thrush and 3 Blackbird all in one bush! If you are patient and quiet enough you can get some fantastic photos like the one above from reserve regular Ian Nicol. If anyone else has photos you would like to see on this blog then please do send them to The Warden
