So forget Waxwings, our garden is definitely proving a magnet for Blackbirds. Odd ones on the berries and a flock of nine in the apple tree the other day. In fact the apple tree may prove to be the better bet.

Thursday December 8
After a bit of a wait since I proclaimed our rowan tree to be Waxwing bait, I have at last seen a bird in it...a Blackbird.

As for the Waxwing invasion, it seems to have stalled in Scotland. My theory is that thrushes will eat all the countryside berries in England by the end of December, so once the Waxwings have done the same in Scotland they will be forced to head south at speed as the choicest berries will have been eaten.
