I noticed that too Mandy - yesterday, when I was out & about collecting Rowan berries (for making jelly    )
No sloes, hawthorn berries, maybe a handful of crab apples - though maybe a good harvest of blackberries - if we get some    & the    isn't too heavy over the next week 
It's gonna be a hard winter for wild birds - especially as most of us won't be able to afford to put masses of seed out for them (hard enough to make sure the stock gets enough this year    )
