| More likely a result of either a good breeding season, poor berry crops on the continent or due to the amount of westerlies causing birds to group up and wait for the wind to turn east, before migrating. |

It seems that the holly berries in my garden (prolific this year) have been declared ready to eat. For the last two days I've had a flock of well over fifty Redwings gorging themselves. Great to see! |

Lots of mobile winter thrushes around my local patch this morning with a conservative minimum count of 150 Fieldfares + 50 Redwings. |
