Thank you all :thankyou:

The pigeons have almost stripped the Pyracantha, the berries which are left are on the lower branches which seem to be difficult for the birds to access for some reason.

The cotoneaster is the creeping variety and grows down over a wall - the top berries go first but there are normally a few on the vertical of the wall.

I have another type of cotoneaster directly opposite the kitchen window which still has berries, I went out to knock the snow off in the hope I might get a better sighting of anything that might like to eat them :grin:

Normally I would say no, but as it happens today I have :grin: , although to be honest they were not in my garden but in the trees overlooking my garden - I spotted about 5 earlier today, I do have some pictures of them, mainly silhouettes but they are clearly Redwing :happy: I've not uploaded them yet though but I will do :grin:

I'm slowly getting to them Dave :lol2:

Here are a few of the Wren that was in the garden first thing yesterday morning. I was quite pleased they turned out as well as they did considering it wasn't fully light and they're taken through the kitchen window.

I've seen the Song Thrush a few times but it is very shy - probably due to the Blackbird :( although I did see it again today but havn't uploaded the photos yet.

and we had Redwing in the trees behind the garden a few days ago
