BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY: Firstly a Happy New Year to everybody that reads this. And secondly, Yes Yes Yes, WAXWINGS in my garden...well, almost! Flock of 30+ in trees along redway behind Coberley Close and Colesbourne Drive. They seemed to be interested in something the other side of the redway which I could not see. Present from approx 2.45 - 3.15. I have a cotoneaster in my garden full of red berries and was willing them to spot it but no luck. Will watch again tomorrow but have to go to work. Never thought I'd see waxwings without even having to go out! My wife said I actually got excited...
Also briefly in my garden today a Great Spotted Woodpecker and a Sparrowhawk whizzed through (Chris James)
