  Hi all

   

  Apologies, its a bit late posting this. During the periods of snow we had 
recently there were several small flocks of redwing in the area I live, 
Portslade old Village. (There were many flying over also). We even had them in 
our garden, which is very small. I have seen them in large garden before, but a 
first for ours.

   

  We do see redwing in my local park Easthill Park most years when it gets very 
cold and frosty. Interestingly, I di not see any in the park during the snowy 
period.
