We normally hit our peak numbers in January / February so we will wait and see what happens then.
At this time of year we would expect all the Hawthorn bushes to have been striped of berries by our visiting winter thrushes, but the Hawthorns are still loaded with berries

I'd noticed that when I was there a couple of weeks ago Mark. I was pleased to see the feeders there, but no signs of any activity.
