The ever-present blackbirds and mistle thrushes (when around) only
just wait for cotoneaster berries to ripen, then the whole lot goes
very quickly. Not a berry left, well before Christmas! What other
berries are the birds in your garden taking first?


First of all is redcurrants.
Then they have recently star6ed taking loganberries and other hybrid
berries.
Then elderberry and rowan (the white berries from other Sorbus are left
till later)
Then it's most of the other berries - honeysuckle, rose hips, holly (the
red ones, not the yellow ones), apples, medlars.

The ones that get left are cotoneaster, viburnum, pernettya, skimmia,
orange pyracantha, yellow holly and pink/white sorbus.
