Not sure if ur other but thats a Redwing. Britains smallest migrating thrush.

 

Red wing (Turdus iliacus) Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos)

If Turdus means Thrush, looks like I'm in the dog house, I wont live this down,

Funny you should say that, took a pic of this as well.

my significant other thought it was a Thrush. was not sure how this thread was going to go

 

They come every winter without fail, spend two days stripping the same large shrub, then move on not to be seen in the garden again.

Given the weather I'm surprised not to have seen siskin this year as they move south to avoid the harshest of the Scandinavian winter: had a breeding pair a few years ago.

 

Am definitely going to peel my eyes for waxwing though as they're so widespread it seems.
