The red on their wings is brillant against the black body.

That song brings back some great memories of much simpler days.

We don't get many around here...

But one day.

I was cycling in south Tiverton. And happened upon a field with at least a hundred red wing blackbirds all on the ground in a field.

Very strange sighting. There must have been some odd food source that presented an opportunity.
