Yes, the tea rooms are an easy trek from that station, and there is plenty of parking (well there is at dawn, LOL). Sounds like it's well worth a visit. I'm working unfortunately.

The forecast is rain, 'actionfinch', but if it's dry I might see you there!

Glad you saw them 'actionfinch'.
I forgot to mention that when I went, I noticed that a couple of thrushes took exception to the waxwings targeting 'their' berry tree. Every time the waxwings got near the thrushes started chattering furiously and hopped near them in a threatening manner.

That's great Lee.
There have been reports of a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker very near that spot, in previous years. You could have been a very lucky boy indeed.
