There has been a big Waxwing invasion this winter, with thousands of birds elsewhere in the country. Only a few meagre pickings here in St. Helens, but still, it was great to see a couple on ASDA car park, and these were my fourth self found sighting of the species in the past couple of months, so shouldn't complain really! Other birds seen around the town centre today, Raven, Peregrine and Grey Wagtail.
It's easy to moan about the dire conditions out there at the moment (still -11'C at 9am!), but it's already been a Christmas to remember for me, with such glorious picture postcard scenes everywhere, and great birds to be found, with Little Egret yesterday and Waxwings today both found on walks from my house.
