Focus on winter thrushes

07 Oct 2011 Redwing by Jill Pakenham

Your complete lists provide valuable information on the migration timing of Redwing and Fieldfare, showing that both species have just begun to arrive. However, we know far less about within-winter movements and the pattern of habitat use by wintering thrushes. Britain and Ireland support high numbers of wintering Redwing and Fieldfare, and we need to know more about their requirements to inform future conservation. This autumn and winter we are encouraging you to use BirdTrack to tell us more about the wintering thrushes you encounter.
