There was a flock of 27 birds when we arrived on Saturday afternoon. A very strong wind rocked the tree and the camera so it was difficult to take photographs. Shortly after this they all took off and disappeared. They normally winter in Scandinavia and Northern Siberia but are often seen along the east coast of the UK between October and March. Tesco's car park has a wealth of the red berries that they love.
