Och they will be back out of hiding soon to defend the berries now all the Scandinavian visitors are arriving.
I hope you're right Linda. I do miss them as they are my favourite garden bird.

I think they were devastated by the disease. Mrs PB saw the first in our garden for weeks and weeks on Tuesday, and I saw about half a dozen individuals whilst was down the the Trailway... previously would have seen upwards of 20 along the length I walked
I had hoped the disease hadn't reached my area. One of those which departed for the moult was a real character and I was hoping he'd return to resume the friendship. It's looking very unlikely now.

That maybe answers why we have not seen our Mr and Mrs B for the past couple of weeks, nor the juvenile that never left home! Never seen so many berries on our Yew tree !!!!
