Redwing stunned on road

There have been so many Redwings around with this cold weather. I have noticed that they are very slow and can often get very close to being squashed on the road because of not flying away fast enough. Today we came very close to doing just this. The bird was stunned I think, in the middle of the main road into Avonwick, we just missed it with a last minute swerve however I was afraid that the car behind may have got it. After dropping of my brother we went back up the road and fortunately the stunned Redwing had made its way to the side of the road and was sitting there looking a little perplexed but otherwise well.
