Simon's Sunday round-up from the North

The Bletchley WAXWINGS are still showing very well around Tescos in Bletchley - Geoff Dawes called to say over 100 were still showing at 09:00 and when I did a quick drive past at 11:00 there were still a sizeable number just across the road in Halfords Car Park , a very quick visit to Walton ( 5 mins as i was late for a Squash match ! ) didnt produce any Bearded Tits and a few other birders had also spent time there unsuccessfully

No sign of the Bittern along Bond Avenue either , but it was on view from 14:30 til 15:30 yesterday , so maybe afternoons are better , look in the scrub and along the stream halfway between Bletcham Way and the Mount Farm Car Park (Simon Nichols)
