Waxwing - Hinckley, Leicestershire
A great start to the New year with New Years day just staying locally as bad weather and Dave not feeling too good, so we just got a few common year ticks but then late afternoon a report of a Waxwing came through in Hinckley which is just down the road so we checked it out but couldn't see him so we headed home but the next morning on the 2nd the report came through again with better directions so we headed over there and saw the Waxwing straightaway high up in the tree on the roundabout we waited and he flew into the berry trees near us the sun shining on him this was my best ever views I was over the moon :)
The next day 19 was reported so we headed there after Stow-on-the-Wold and there they were in the tree on the island more had joined there was 23 now this just amazed me how just yesterday there was 1 now 23 lol I got to hear them call such a distinctive call and a few of them flew to the berry tree near us giving more nice views no photos today as weather was very dull.
Been a brilliant couple of days I love Waxwings just hoping now we will get them in Warwickshire :)
