Why is my 12ft mahonia tree's leaves turning a russet colour.

The new leaves lower down on my mahonia are brown as they appear. When the berries on the mahonia have been eaten eagerly by starlings and the blackbird I will take back the taller growths back to let more light to other plants,as the sun comes over it. It would take a lot to clobber a well established mahonia.

Please post a photo.
Hope your garden is large for your Mahonia I keep mine to just 6ft and away to cut top off to take back to 5ft.
