The Redwing is another winter visitor to tljc British 

 Islands, which, like the Fieldfare, comes to ns in flocks 

 from the northern and north-eastern parts of Europe, but 

 with this difference, that they make their appearance earlier 

 in the year than the Fieldfare, arriving frequently by the 

 middle or before the end of October. It has also been 

 observed that the Redwings are unable to bear hard weather
