[edit]Why does the paragraph, on the article page, refer to the Redwing and contain text nearly identical to text on the Redwing page, when this is the page for a different species, the Fieldfare? This needs to be corrected. BbGideon (talk) 17:29, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Disagreement
[edit]I added a para stating a difference of opinion about this birds conservation status. Not sure if this is helpful or confusing tho! Lonesometwin (talk) 14:39, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'm going to modify your text. The RSPB status is only for the UK, at the extreme edge of the Fieldfare's breeding range. Only a handful of pairs breed so far south, but it's common and widespread across its main range. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:02, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
