WAXWINGS at Wolverton Works

Yes, Wolverton Works.


Around 40 WAXWINGS this afternoon (Tuesday) down the 'Black Boards' path at the far western end of the railway works between Wolverton & Old Wolverton. They were flitting down into the gulleys between the roof apex on the Works buildings where I guess water was collecting. Still in area on leaving in gardens alongside, soouth side of Longville, Old Wolverton.

100 yards further north on Manor Farm Workings, 9 Goosander (6 drakes, 3 redheads), a couple of Golden Plover, 5 Green Sandpiper including three quite happily feeding on floods right by the railway line and a handful of Common Snipe, Little Egrets also dotted here and there.

Elsewhere in North Bucks, still at least 100 WAXWINGS in the Bletchley/Stony Stratford area, and several other flocks scattered around the county (LGRE)
