Waxwings in Hyde

30 Waxwings and a good number of Redwing  plus a couple of Mistle Thrush and Blackbird enjoying the berries on a cold but sun morning in Brighouse

Got my fix of Waxwings today in Halifax

Hume's Leaf Warbler

Excellent Sunday birding trip to north east as usual. First off Long Eared Owl at Fairburn Ings. Also seen were a Green Woodpecker and a Willow Tit Then onto Whitley Bay for a very obliging Hume's Leaf Warbler. Like a slightly washed out Yellow browed warbler with a distinctive double syllable call. Also pleasant surprise of 2 Waxwings here too. We finished off with a Tundra Bean Goose at Boldon Flats and various ducks including a female Scaup at Tophill Low but sadly no Grey Phalarope. Final sighting was a hunting Barn Owl at dusk

Waxwings

A group of 70-80 Waxwings were lovely to see just outside Gordon Riggs garden centre in Rochdale this afternoon.

Had a look at some lovely Waxwings in Wythenshawee today. Still waiting for some to arrive in Saddleworth. Also seen was a Mistle Thrush.
