Thrushes

The other noticable thing about yesterday in the Dean was the number of Blackbirds or rather the complete lack of any other thrushes despite the high number of Blackbirds. Not a single Mistle, Song, Fieldfare or Redwing has anyone else noticed this or is it just in the Dean?

Redwings and Fieldfares were about the week before as they were coming up the valley towards dusk to roost in Caste Carr. Only c15 Fieldfare and 4 Redwings found in Crimsworth Dean this afternoon.
