Today it is pouring with cold rain and we have strong winds. I was nice and warm in the kitchen cooking when I realized that the fieldfares had decided this was the perfect moment to descend on my berries. Knowing how fast they can feed I put on my waterproofs and battled the weather to collect a number of branches for my festive decorating, now safely in the outside dairy in buckets of water. The birds are welcome to share the feast (you'll notice a pigeon also got in on the act) but the first year we were here I was left surrounded by holly without a single berry come Christmas, so this year I'm taking action first!
