One of Sundays Waxwings
A mostly grey day with some heavy snow showers blown in on a stiff E>4 although some thaw took place for the hours around midday.
No sightings of the Waxwing flock at lunchtime around Foxhill or New Park Rd and didnt get chance this tea time to check Moorside Rd area although by the time I get home and some tea down me its getting towards roost time.
Skies were very active around Foxhill Park midday with several Common and Black Headed gulls back in the area along with 2 Collared Doves and several Greenfinch which is not a common sighting around Foxhill.
Up to 4 Blackbirds were on the apples stuck in the front garden Hawthorn trees but didnt manage to tempt any Waxwings down.
Just 4 days now and the clocks go forward so we can get a bit of evening birding in, thats when the snow starts to clear to give us some access.
A Common Buzzard was sighted today >NE over Ogden, DJS, see Calderbirds, so a good sign of some raptor movement starting.

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
