Icelandic redwings. Turdus iliacus coburni


Redwings are now arriving in numbers on Barra and are of particular interest because they are the Icelandic race T.i. corbuni. I've never knowingly seen this race anywhere else except Barra and they differ from the more familiar T.i. illiacus in that they have more thickly streaked underparts giving them a much darker appearance. 


Otherwise a very, very quiet day. Three days to go....
