Sauntering Vaguely Downward

Blackbird surrounded by hawthorn berry feast.

( Redwing )
These were taken a little over a week ago. Between the blackbirds and the redwings, this bush has been nearly stripped of its berries. I'm glad we didn't trim our hedges back earlier in the autumn.

(with apologies to those subscribed to common_nature who will see this twice; no energy for multiple post content, sorry)
