Been none on it for last two days, I am sure they havent all gone. Have they had enough of the reports perhaps?

I know I have

, all bird guides and bird forum (maps), as well as local sightings are dominated by them. I appreciate they are nice looking birds and the first few sightings should be reported but they are starting to clog everything up.

RBA announced at the end of last week, and the article is still on their website, that wef 13th December they were reclassifying Waxwings as uncommon. That's why they don't appear on the lite map, although they are still being reported and appear in their news.

Certainly has cleared the map though

As jonners says but it will only be till the winter is over and then they revert back to their original classification. They are still reported on local channels on the pager.
