The first waves of Redwing are pouring across Ceredigion. Soon they will remember our centuries old garden yew and see that it is stuffed with ripeness. Then the spectacle starts proper as our resident Mistle & Song Thrushes desperately try to defend the tree. “We were here first! These are all ours!”
