More Waxwings on Oldbrook this lunchtime - about 25 seen perched in trees along Underwood Place as I was driving past, then half hour later, as I was driving back, 100+ flew over north. They are probably still on the estate somewhere.

Earlier, the adult Whooper Swan was still at Gayhurst Quarry, and at the Little Linford Wood maize strip, still 68 Tree Sparrow and about 50 Reed Buntings.

A Little Egret was on the ice at Tongwell, but ducks numbers at Willen are well down on last week, with 8 Goosanders being the pick of them.

Merry Christmas to all (Rob Hill)
