Waxwings Nill, Goosander Four

A quick sortie around the retail parks and other Waxwing hotspots with Nick D this afternoon produced a big fat zero. There are so few berries left on any of the trees and shrubs that any Waxwings that do turn up are likely to pass through very quickly.

Elland turned up Nuthatch calling on the far side of the fishing pool, 3 Great crested grebes on the ski lake, 6 siskins along the canal, 2 pairs of Goosander which I managed to film displaying, an aberrant Tufted Duck, a female Bullfinch by the car park where there were loads of robins, tits, dunnocks and chaffinch, a few cormorants, mallard, moorhen.
