Female Blackbird after apples whilst the male nest builds.
A grey cold day with a misty start then slight snow showers followed by rain on into the evening .
A good move of LBB gulls early a.m. in the mist with 3 groups seen, 12, 9, and 15 all >NE whilst 6 Common gulls followed on the same route mid morning.
A pair of Pied Wagtails flew over Chapel Lane mid day and a customers report of a tree full of Waxwings in the rugby field at the beginning of the week.
The large Cotoneaster bush in Chapel Lane graveyard that I have been watching all winter was completely stripped of berries when I checked at lunch time so the Waxwings have obviously been there yesterday p.m.
Also a customer from Oxenhope told me today of 6 Waxwings in his garden which he has not had before. Looks like everyones had a share of Waxwings this year thanks to failed fruit on the Rowans.
