The flock returned to Griffin Lane in Aylesbury. Birds were typically moving around and coming and going. Maximum size was 82. They do fly over the railway line into the Fairford leys estate, where some were seen in Arncott Way late afternoon. Still present to 3pm at least.
Perhaps the strangest sight was seeing c40-50 go down inside a skip, presumably to drink from melt water there.
The whole afternoon was brilliant, getting people onto their first ever Waxwings and delighting children and adults alike who stopped to look. Fantastic stuff (Mike Wallen)
