Actually I do know why ... all those cotoneasters in the supermarket carpark landscaping. The carpark outside Sainsbury's at Meadowhall, Sheffield is a favoured waxwing spot .... |

Can't remember hearing of any being reported in this area of norfolk on the RBA pager recently.

That's a bit disappointing as we had a good run of them last year. I suppose in a way though, it means there's enough to eat for them where they are and so prevents them having to undertake a hazardous journey across the North Sea to feed themselves.

Hopefully the will be an influx next month I think it varies when it happens, some times its later in some winters than others. |

Trouble is then, if they get here later, the fieldfares and redwings may have gobbled up all the berries!

Several reports along the North-east coast today too, suggesting some are starting to come across. | | | |
