Redwing singing Matlock Forest
Ken and I had a real surprise this morning when we came across a singing male Redwing on the edge of Matlock Forest.
Looking in Roy Frosts 'The Birds of Derbyshire' there are very few records between May and September. Interestingly there is reference to a singing male at Slagmill Plantation on 18th May 1985, and another in the Goyt Valley on 17th June 2003, otherwise there are a couple of records cited for June and July. Other than the singing males there has been no records of the Redwing breeding in Derbyshire.
