This evening there were about 35 Starlings on the telegraph wires, a pre-roost gathering. These eventually went to roost in extensive creepers covering a house side.
The conkers falling of the church Horde Chestnut do appear pretty numerous and of a good size this year. This made me have closer look at Yew, Blackthorn and Hawthorn this year. There are berries, but the crop does look a light. The winter thrushes will be here any day and quickly clear the berries this year, so if the weather turns cold or snow cover early it will add to their survival pressure, of course they can always move on.
