Nice. More waxwing needed. Ornamental trees in supermarket car parks are hot spots around here too (err, in good years)

Guillimots, Razorbills and Goosanders the order of the day. I hear that Long-Tailed Ducks back too, but haven't seen one yet.

Jays in abundance in Greenbank cemetery this morning. They love the holm oaks. More prolific than the other birds at 10:30. Amazing. Easily outnumbered the magpies, crows and wood pigeons, flitting hither and rither.

Kinky, I planted a Rowan tree in my garden thirty years ago; it's 10 metres tall, had loads of berries every year since it was an adolescent but never attracts a Waxwing! Blackbirds love it and eat the berries long before any hungry Waxwing would make its sea crossing! Good luck with yours!

steve45, we have the same thing with a pyracantha bush in the garden. I keep thinking its red berries will attract redwings into the garden, but the blackbirds end up consuming them all before any redwings turn up.

I read that Redwings are widespread from north to south but despite perfect low cloud this morning and looking throughout my run, I saw none!

A local blogger is seeing redwing every day at the moment. I think I caught sight of a small group yesterday near Guiseley

Saw a pair of yellow wagtails in flight over a stream yesterday in Northumberland. Beautiful birds with a very distinct way of flying!

Definitely yellow, not grey, wagtails, Minnie Mad? Greys are closely associated with streams, more so than yellows (and are puzzlingly named because they have a LOT of yellow on them).
