Today I watched a Scandinavian Redwing stripping the berries from our holly tree. These redwings cross the Atlantic in flocks to overwinter in the UK - unfortunately they've now stripped the holly tree bare and left nothing for my usual blackbirds and robins! I scatter birdseed in the garden but unfortunately the snow is still coming down and tends to cover up the seed before the birds get to it. Sadly, the green woodpecker that has visited for the past few winters has not shown up at all this year.
