Two striking magpies sat in the cherry tree, from here they have good visibility throughout the whole garden. As soon as a squirrel appears they drop to the ground, ready to follow and harass him until the biscuit is either eaten or buried, if it is the latter they immediately dig it up or they collect it from its hiding place and either eat it or hide it themselves.
The pretty redwings are here, they come from Scandinavian countries to feed and fatten up during the winter months, as our weather is generally milder than their native weather. They are usually to be found in mixed flocks with fieldfares on berried shrubs and trees.
They stay in our garden until they have cleared all of the berries and the malus of its fruit.
