| | | Waxwing watch.
It was about this time last year that we had a good influx of waxwings.
I don't know what the weather is doing in Scandinavia or if there's a shortage of berries but if it's cold and they're short of grub,I'd like to see them here again. Please let us know if you catch up with any on this thread.

Birdguides reported some a couple of days ago I think, somewhere in NE England.

I hope they make a return to Oldham College this year, wasn't around when they made an appearence last year. Lots of berries on the college Rowans atm so fingers crossed.

Most of the local Rowans here have been stripped of their beries by Fieldfares, but I've got my eye on some places where there are still some left.
I haven't seen any Waxwings yet, but I'm not giving up hope just yet. |

We need a big change to our weather patterns before we get any big numbers, these South West gales aren't any good at all. |

Possibly a bit of movement today, a few sightings appearing along the east coast this morning.
