In the space of a few hours the birds polished off the berries in what I can only describe as a frenzy. The fieldfares were chain-eating berries at a rate of 1 a second whereas the redwing seemed more thoughtful about the process. after the tree had been stripped, they all descended onto the floor hoovering up the berries that had fallen into the snow. The next morning the whole flock had gone apart from one fieldfare who is still in my garden today, 4 days later.</blockquote>
