By mid-December, the woods turn into a vast seasonal larder, alive with colour and quiet drama. Hawthorn berries shrivel just as fieldfares and redwings arrive to feast, while waxwings target rowan trees with uncanny precision. Finches, tits and goldfinches each specialise in their own favourite seeds and nuts, from beechmast to hazel and thistles. Jays secretly cache acorns, reshaping forests over centuries, as wild pigs, mice and squirrels pursue their own preferred harvests.
