A new bird for me in the garden this morning… a Mistle Thrush. Lovely to see this increasingly rare bird eating yew berries . It’s now on the Red List of Birds of Conservation concern…and gardens like ours play a vital role providing berries that will help them survive the winter. It’s our largest songbird and I used to watch territorial birds defending holly trees loaded with berries when I was younger !
