Redwings and Fieldfares, Dowley Gap.29/10/08

Nice and bright , but cold this morning down at Dowley Gap. There was a small flock of Fieldfares 20 or so, which departed soon after I arrived, 8.30'ish. Redwings, in small numbers were feeding intermittently on Hawthorn berries along side the canal.

Cheers Stephen

A few images taken at Timble Ings today. The Dragonfly is a female Southern Hawker, I think!
