Quoting:what kind of berries are yours eating?

Cotoneaster frigidus (Himalayan tree Cotoneaster). It isn't the berry they (or other birds!) like best, small, hard and not very juicy – that's why the berries are still available in April, long after all the other berries have been finished. But I guess it makes a useful end-of-winter 'emergency' supply.

About ten waxwings in the tree right now as I type! Looking into the sun at this time of day so not going to try for more pics.

Here's an autumn pic of the cotoneaster from November.
