Local sighting!

Got a text from Phil Jones in Withernsea this morning. Waxwings in his garden!! I couldn't pop round as I had a second interview for a possible job. Pleased for him as he's spent quite a bit of time sorting it out.

Takes me back to the 20/2/96. I'd planted some Pyracanthas for the dicky birds in the hope of attracting thrushes. I arrived home from work, parked the car and as I got out there, right in front of me were 5 Waxwings!! They stayed around the house for 3 days.

One morning I opened the bedroom curtains and they were in the front garden tree!
