Elland (the Halifax side of Elland Bridge) has also attracted them in the past. <br /><br />They can stay till late April, turning to fly-catching on warm spring days.<br /><br />I have heard that a murmuration of Starlings in Brighouse has been wowing the crowds. <br /><br />Steve Blacksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795912451617499115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945686662242865677.post-21666038319928947662017-01-03T14:22:48.965+00:002017-01-03T14:22:48.965+00:00P's 5 were feeding with redwings, blackbirds a...P's 5 were feeding with redwings, blackbirds and mistle thrush today in the Cambridge place/room field court area,giving fantastic views at head level,pity weather and light wasn't the best.the last berries in the bus station have been eaten now,Thanks for comments.brian leecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17726616308327788501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945686662242865677.post-5907918003561416012017-01-03T13:44:49.275+00:002017-01-03T13:44:49.275+00:00Fabulous photos, Brian!

I did see the Redwing on one of the Rowans in Myrtle St, although you could count the number of berries on one hand! Happy New Year to you too!Annie Honjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118157708954370486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945686662242865677.post-51845524808081755422017-01-03T13:32:55.240+00:002017-01-03T13:32:55.240+00:00Thanks Brian--Good Photos.

It also emphasises the value of urban berried trees and we have to make sure these are planted with development schemes, such as the new Lidl and Aldi.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958943713830532172noreply@blogger.com
