Even in this strange time where we have to stay home, some of us are lucky enough to watch a fantastic migratory bird in their backyard, the Redwing -thread 👇 & more details in @AvesBE blog in FR (📷C Farinelle) #ornithology blog.aves.be/aves/2020/4/5/… 
Redwing breeding range extends from NW Europe E to the Kolyma river bassin: 60% of the world population breed in Asia but almost all the population is wintering in WP, so Kolyma birds have to fly at least 6500km to reach nearest Caspian wintering grounds

Redwings, like other tree fruit foragers, are rather nomadic in winter. And they can shift completely their destination from one winter to the next. Some birds ringed in winter in Belgium were recovered as far as the Caucasus in a subsequent winter source: odnature.naturalsciences.be/bebirds/fr/rin…
