A slightly better day with a slight rise in temperature and a steady thaw showing. Some sunny spells and the wind dropped slightly moving round a notch to NE> 3.
Plenty Waxwings still moving around with first a phone call from blog watcher Peter Turner who was watching 2 above a garden showing berries on Cooper Lane, Horton Bank Top, thanks for the call Peter, and secondly a call from NK with the Foxhill flock showing on Weston Vale Rd and then a flock of c30 back at the old site of Moorclose Rd. See Queensburybirder blog for report and unusual photos in the snow.
Im glad Nigel relocated the flock because by the time Id kept him talking on the phone the birds had flown before he could get a photo.
Otherwise a quiet day apart from plenty small gulls now back in the area for food and a visit by the local Sparrowhawk into the front garden before being rapidly seen off by Lynda before it could get near her House Sparrows. I keep telling her to get a photo but she,s more likely to twot it on the head with the long brush.
A day off tomorrow but the problem of where to bird with most of the upland locations being snow bound, watch this space.
