Waxwings, Todmorden

My wife reported a small number in the Myrtle St car park when she was shopping this morning.

When walking through to catch a train at 1200, a flock of 40-50 was very flighty over the bus station, landing briefly on a single tree there before moving off back towards their previous haunt.

35 waxwings around our house for over an hour, up to approx. 1030am. Opposite our
front door (8 Ramsden Wood Road). In a garden shrub with delicate pink berries and flying to the top of the tall tree nearby. Think I'll rent out our doorstep!

Stop Press: 1050am they're back!
