The Redwing (Turdus iliacus) is a species of thrush in the family Turdidae which is in the genus Turdus.
It breeds in the northern parts of Eurasia extending eastwards from
Iceland to eastern Russia. Small numbers have also recently been found
breeding in Greenland. In the autumn, this highly migratory species
leaves the colder parts of its breading range to winter further south in
Europe as well as parts of North Africa and the Middle East extending
to northern Iran.
