The birds in the garden on December 10th

 On December 10th the robins flocked to the holly berries and devouvered them all by early afternoon.  The birds were a couple of weeks early this year.  Those berries have been known to be ready on Christmas morning.

 Some of the flock of robins in the English Oak tree, what is in the back garden.  The robins were having trouble sitting on the branches of the holly tree, if there got to be too many of them at once.

 On the same day there were wood peckers on the other trees.  None of my pictures were very good.  But this is the only shot I have of the red headed woodpecker in the front tree.

 The downey woodpecker was on the apple tree, searching out bugs to eat.  There was a Flicker on the neighbours house, and a Starling in the holly tree for only a moment.
