berries gone, so i can fill it in !

My filling in is going to be a dead loss - at the moment the blackbirds are busy with the apples and mulberries - and I've been told not to include any trees where I am in competition with the birds ...
The rosehips are being taken by greenfinches. Otherwise I don't expect any berry/bird activity until the mistle thrushes arrive for the holly.
