Yeah I finally managed to get a photo of the redwings have a bathing in the pond. Not a great photo as I have a new lens which I haven’t got used to yet, and it was through a window, and my hands were very shaky. I can count 10 (there is one skulking behind a plant). I am so please as I have only ever seen 2 and this is the first year I have seen them in the garden. They were having a bit of a stand off with the blackbirds. The female blackbird won and saw them all off, but as soon as she started to bathe, the redwings came back. She did manage a few minutes bathing before she gave up.
