It is a welcomed winter visitor to the Common and moves around the Kinson area in good sized flocks. In appearance it looks like a song thrush but closer
observation will reveal its red markings and a light stripe over the eye.
Many are victims of the sparrowhawk locally.
Haunt. Open country around Two Barrow Heath and particularly the Poole
Lane Meadows where it gathers on the ground during the harsher
weather.
It does not stay in one location for long.
Food. Berries, worms insects and grubs.
Notes. These range from a "took" to a "seep". Its full song is only heard
occasionally.
