Under-counting of WAXWING flocks

This morning I reported 200+ Waxwings around Lloyds Court, CMK, just after 09.00. They were in four separate trees and I quickly took photos of them all so there would be no duplication. Having just had the chance to count them, and allowing for one or two I may have missed or double-counted, there were 319 - a very impressive total. A pity the light was so poor for better photography (Geoff Dawes)
