The Lincolnshire Bird Club

Information from Martin Gray:

34 Waxwings Moor Lane, Branston

Feeding low down on Hawthorn this afternoon 13.00 hours

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.

Only 2 Waxwings still around when David Cohen and I were at yesterday's site 12.40 - 1.00pm today (Tue). They were perched in an Ash tree opposite the entrance to Heathfield Avenue.
