trigger2 3,602 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 There was a real good crop of berries on the trees around here mate but the birds have hammered hard already that’s probably why you are unable to find any about Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is that right fireman. There’s a holly bush opposite my in-laws kitchen window and it had to be one of the best crop of berry I’ve seen for a few years but within a fortnight it was totally cleared when they started on it. I wondered how it got cleared so fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Norwich does get a good few waxwings and just yesterday i was watching a huge flock of Field fares and along with Redwings they often can be seen in the fields around me winter time,Norfolk and Suffolk are the first landfall the birds reach and unless there's a easterly wind to help push them along the north sea can be a cruel hard going place against the wind so a rest and feed up for a few days after landing is what a lot do before heading further west...Maybe a sign of a harder winter on it's way if the birds from the east are arriving so hungry already.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
