2 mistle thrush guarding 2 rowan trees near my house.

St marys church, 2 goldcrest , 1 nuthatch , 1 gs pecker , mistle thrush blackbird and redwing feeeding on yew berries .
1 song thrush eating the last berries on a rowan .
I noticed a tree full of apples opposite the farmers arms pub which could also be a possible waxwing site.

Just checked out the area again , no sign of any waxwings but plenty of starlings , plenty of berries on docters lane near the junction , also heard a crest near my house which sounded a bit different but could not get a good view of the bird.
