And when I looked out this morning, ther was a flock of 20 or so
fieldfares
nibbling away at the berries across the road.
Not to mention the jay.

Probably another couple of weeks before they arrive here, usually has to
get cold oop North befere we seee them.
Plenty of apples on the floor in the orchard/Yew and other berries in the
woodland garden so they will be OK when
they get here (and the sparrowhawk probably won't starve either)

My birdwatching friend phoned me tonight to say that he has read in a paper
that the weather in Russia is still so warm that the Bewick swans, which are
usually here by now, have not yet left Russia.
