Thanks, Martin Gray for the info and thanks Colin and Sheila for relaying it. They say, "Strike while the iron is hot", especially as Branston is only 5 minutes' drive from BBH. As I turned into Moor Lane from the Metheringham Road this morning (Monday - 1025), the Waxwings were clearly visible, perched in a small clump of bare trees on the left above the "School - Caution" road sign as the houses ended and before Heathfield Avenue. I parked and was able to view the proceedings from my car. The birds had 3 feeding areas: - Across the road in a hedge (mainly Rose Hips) -Below the trees in the hedge (mainly Rose Hips) -In the rear garden of the last house on the left in 2 or 3 berry bushes. -Some of the birds were also drinking from the puddles on Heathfield Avenue. Maximum count was 27. The birds were still feeding as I left at 1045. (back home by 1050 to do this post) ![]() Regards, Freddy. PS. 40+ Waxwings reported on Birdguides this morning - Mon (11.15) behind the Medical Centre and by the North Kesteven School in North Hykeham. |
