Waxwings 26th October



On my way out of ASDA this PM, Dave S rang me about a flock of Waxwings reported near the Hospital. Dave picked me up but we didnt find the birds where they had been seen, we did however find at least 16 birds at King Cross behind the Fire Station. We were joined by DJP and I managed some record shots in very poor light.

    With Waxwings pouring into the country is this the earliest we've had them locally? And with Bewicks at Slimbridge already does this forebode of a Bad winter ahead??
