For anyone who is interested or is local to the area

I've just seen a flock of Waxwings in Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.
This is only my second sighting of this bird so I'm abit hyper and need to share

They're great birds. Its been a good year for them so far. Keep a look out, you may see a lot more yet.

First time I saw them it was Dec 08 in Shirebrook. I was on an undercover mission at the time: call me Nikita PMSL. After proof had been obtained and arguements had... I walked around town and saw a silhouetted fire starter in a tree near the library. Only four but I was so woo hoo. First Waxwing sighting. Seriously I'd make a xexexexe spy! First wiff of a Kingfisher and I'd be off... sod the mission

.

Anyway here two shots from today. Only on a 35mm Lens at this point so not much detail. However it a good head count.
