Managed to get a peak at the Wokingham 13 today, they stayed mostly at the top of a tall tree, but dropped down periodically to feed on one of three ornamental trees, not sure what they are, but I'm sure Catherine will be able to enlighten me.:)

Brilliant photos, Rolf!:thumbsup:
I particularly like the second and sixth ones. Interesting to see them eating those pink berries too.:)
Is that tree a Sorbus Hupehensis? One of the Mountain ash family?

It certainly is a Rowan or Mountain Ash - not sure of the variety as there are more than one pink one. The one you mention is Pink Pagoda which DOES have white-going-into-pink berries, but there are others..... - Rowan Tree With Pink Berries
There are many Chinese Rowans with larger or more colourful leaves in autumn, so unless there are leaves there - or a label still on it, it is difficult to ID
