Welsh Redwings

I'm in North Wales near Mold staying in a house that backs onto farmland. The garden is quite active with "typical" garden birds but while out back today I saw of flock of Redwings flutter off the field behind the house. After grabbing my bins and most of them return to feed I confirmed they were indeed Redwings... a new UK tick for me! :)

I also got a great view of a Treecreeper today, the first time I've seen one that wasn't spiralling round a tree. We were walking the dog at Loggerheads Country Park, I turned to cross a stone bridge and there it was on the bridge in front of me. The sun was bright and the view perfect, I'd never realised how bright the underparts of a Treecreeper were until today as those bits are usually hidden by a tree.

It's been a good day. Does a birder ever stop birding? I haven't purposely been out birding at all today but have had 2 great finds just by keeping my eyes open. A great hobby isn't it.
