Nice to see you too Chris!

The waxwings seem to disappear for an hour or so at a time. They were seen at 12.30 apparently, again 2ish, then about 4 o clock they returned and stayed for a couple of hours coming down to the guelder rose bushes about every fifteen minutes. The Colour ringed bird amongst them again, we counted 11 waxwings, there were 12 yesterday.
