The way that 2 Mistle (Missile?) Thrushes were keeping 40+ Waxwings at bay in Hyde today they may have to include pizza in their diet if they stick around ! With the amount of junk food adorning Hyde pavements they wouldn't have much trouble surviving if they decide to become less choosy in their diet.
Seriously though there are still a few places with berries around Hyde, so the current flock could still stay locally once all the berries have gone near the motorcycle place.

Couldn't help giggling at this on Bird Guides. Forget berries and apples
