Wildlife Watch Meeting at Whisby NP this morning produced flight views of the Bittern over reeds at the back of Grebe Lake (near to Orchid Glade?), but not a lot else - water is now 99% frozen. And, we came across 14 Waxwings in bushes beside the A46 at the bridge over the A46 south of Thorpe on the Hill (Fosse Lane NGR SK908643) - I guess these must be the Witham St Hughs birds - we saw then at 12.45pm anyone watching Waxings at Witham St Hughs at that time?? We watch the birds for about 10 minutes before they flew off Lincoln way? Andrew |

The Waxwing group was still at Witham St Hughs this afternoon (Saturday). I initially spent 15 minutes near the W St H Roundabout but only Fieldfare and Redwing there. Then, following gen from two other birders, I watched the Waxwings from 2.45pm well inside the W St H Estate area. They were feeding on berries in a garden at the bottom of Thyme Walk, as viewed from the bottom of Sorrell Road. The two birders had seen 14 there but my maximum was 11 - a short 15 minute visit only, though, (up to 3.00pm) as I was picking my wife up in Lincoln at 3.30pm! Regards, Freddy |
