I had a flock of approx 20 c. waxwings polishing off my holly berries

I had a large flock around the house on Sunday. There's not much to be
had at this time of year, but there are generally a few mountain ash
berries that the starlings have missed, and also some small berries on
a multiflora rose that grows along a fence. We have a few shrivelled
quinces, but they didn't appear to be interested in those. Must be the
proverbial slim pickings this time of year when it comes to fruit.
