Spot the difference:

 
Wednesday

Sunday
 
Yes the snow has gone from the bushes and I'm wearing different clothes, but there's something else missing...

A 15 or so strong flock of these too-shy-to-be-photographed birds





descended on the pyracantha that covers the wall and stripped it of all its berries!



I think that they were redwings (a type of thrushes) and acted like a group of rowdy but cautious teenagers, with one of them always keeping watch (they dispelled at the first twitching of curtains).

And just like teenagers, they were wasteful:





But I'm sure that they'll come back for what is left on the ground: the party is not over yet.

The garden does feel even more naked and colourless now!

I know, srsly. Birds just 10 years ago were more respectful and responsible.

As soon as I read "something missing", I thought, "Who ate the red berries?". Then I saw the birds, and I knew the answer before I read any further, but I still enjoyed reading and seeing the rest of the photos. Thank you! :)

LOL the birds here ate the orange berries (don't know what they are) in the park before I managed to get a quality photo while I was making my Autumanal Colours series. That's how I made the association.
