Returning Fieldfares

For the first time in about two months, I today saw some fieldfares. It is interesting that they should have returned as soon as the cold weather should reach us after such an abnormally mild winter to date. I presume they have been feeding on lowland fields and in the orchards but are now perhaps returning for the last of the berries on the hedges hger at the foot of the North Downs.
For the first time in many years, I have yet to see a redwing this winter.
