BRIGG BIRDS STOCKING UP FOR CHRISTMAS

It's been puzzling for weeks how garden birds of many species have continued to ignore the extensive crop of red berries in our Brigg back garden. However, today has seen blackbirds continue to visit the bushes and  take away a berry at a time. Maybe the birds have left the crop until Christmas. Or is it some Mother Nature  sign of severe bad weather to come?
A rare pre-Christmas visitor to Springfield Road this afternoon was a solitary wren. Hard to spot, being so small.
