mother nature a scarey creature - but she always knows - somehow

[Aunt Sally]

and have you not noticed that alot of birds from your garden aren't around - they know too - gone and bggrd off to somewhere more pleasant for the winter - i think i might call my mate in spain

berries are a sign of glut ,good growing season . the animals are better indicators ,. even a half million years early man went and hid in caves and saved food   we just save it in supermarkets n have central heating

[Selkie]

we've still got birds in the garden (and hedgehog poo too!); we've got whooper swans and the great nothern divers (or loons, i love loons)

[gobs]

Well, she has no explanation there and my garden is full of birds, and I had better year of berries than this one, except I don't think I've ever been picking strawberries this time of year, but never had this variety before.

All in all , there you are.
