First Redwing and new backyard species

 

Blackbird singing


 
I already thought that this day will end without any new species for this year - but no, just before sunset the first Redwing (Turdus iliacus) started singing near our home, together with Blackbird (Turdus merula) and two Fieldfares (Turdus pilaris). In addition to those, 3 Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) flew over our house - a new backyard species for me. Nice evening.
