Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Listen for calls. The high-pitched 'tseep' call is often the first indication of Redwings, especially during migration or when they are flying overhead in winter.
2. Look for flocks. Outside the breeding season, Redwings are highly social. Look for them foraging in large flocks, often mixed with Fieldfares, in open fields or on berry bushes.
3. Check berry bushes. In autumn and winter, focus on trees and shrubs laden with berries (e.g., hawthorn, rowan, ivy) as these are prime feeding spots.
4. Observe ground foraging. Watch for them hopping on lawns, fields, or under trees, pausing to listen and then probing the ground for worms and insects.
5. Dawn and Dusk. During migration, large numbers can be seen and heard flying overhead at dawn and dusk.

Migrazione

A long-distance migratory species. Northern populations are obligate migrants, moving south for the winter. They migrate primarily at night, often in large, vocal flocks. Autumn migration occurs from September to November, and spring migration from March to April.
