Redwings in Bantock Park. They had taken refuge in trees when a man with a dog came a little too close to where they were feeding on the ground (see yesterday’s mistle thrush post).
When they had been on the ground, it was really obvious that the mistle thrush was a lot bigger than the redwings. his size contrast was magnified when they had flown onto branches: the redwings were it trees farther from where I was standing. They were also closely surrounded by a maze of twigs, harder to spot than the bigger bird which was against a background of the open sky.
