Large flocks (several hundreds) of redwings in our orchards today
feeding on frozen windfall apples. Amazing racket!

In my next-door-neighbour's front garden is a pyracantha smothered in
berries. In the snow at the beginning of the year a flock of redwings
arrived, stripped all the berries and were gone. I'm waiting to see
if the same thing happens now. It was an amazing sight.
