WAXWING in Walter's Ash
A single WAXWING seen yesterday in trees behind Allen Drive, Walter's Ash at midday. Only there briefly then flew off W giving its wonderful trilling call. Same or another bird seen about an hour later flying over garden in same direction. Perhaps a fragment of the flock seen in Lacey Green yesterday? Bird was on top of a large oak, at first glance assumed it was a starling, but suspicion was raised by its erect stance so ran for bins and scored second waxwing tick from garden. Worth keeping an eye out! - Neil Fletcher
