Today 35+ robins have effectively stripped my three large holly bushes bare...I've never had these bushes go from a state where they were covered in red at 10 am and were so naked by 3pm,....unbelievable...
These berries usually survive into January,..some times preserved under snows and bared as a treat in midwinter,...obviously they won't even see a snow this year...

I too, in St Margarets Bay, have had many more robins than usual here
for this time of year (approx 40-50). They are eating not only
multiflora rose hips, but also holly berries, which they have previously
always left as a last resort for February and March.
