I had approx. 15 Redwings in my urban back garden a week or so back. Took them 2/3 days to finish off the berries. (I note from my old records I've had max 30). The good thing was the Redwings bought the most birds I've ever had in my garden trees with a several Chaffinch, several Goldfinch & a few Goldfinch feeding for an hour or more. (Maybe the warmer weather with buds on the Aspen trees?)

For the first four months of 2023, I've never had so many garden birds. More winter Chaffinch than previous years but March they moved on.
Previously I had visits from a Bullfinch pair once or twice a year but 2023 daily visits and then less so in March.
In previous years I only had visits once a year from Greenfinch but now they visit everyday though numbers decreasing.
Goldfinch used to visit a few times a year but more frequent in 2023 and then a few daily in April.
I only saw one winter Blackcap on the feeder.

My urban back garden nesting Blackbirds had 4 broods this year. One brood predated & 3 successful broods. 3 different brood fledglings seen (but maybe only single birds?)
