Pretty Unappetising

Another photo from this morning's walk in to work.

St.James's Park is chock full of birds, yet nobody seems to want to eat these yummy berries.

They've been sitting there since October, when I first noticed them.

The photos put it far more eloquently that I can, just how heinously winter sucks ass.

The bush is a variant of callicarpa, for which the common name is "beauty berry" but in bird language must mean "shitty-tasting".

Does seem a waste doesn't it. Don't try them yourself though Dive at any cost. Health & Safety'll be onto you (see mine today).

Very pretty shots indeed.

Health and safety would be paramount to a gentleman of Norwich, - of course !

Dessert on the terrace; berries and ice-cream; a little Johann Strauss (the elder), playing in the background, one's true love at the other end of the long table.

Don't go to work, Dive, just pick berries. It's bound to still be politically correct !

Maybe the birds are just stunned stupid by the cold.
