With the Alyn still to high to fish after the floods, gives us time to enjoy a rare sight here in North Wales. Waxwings from Europe have arrived around our house in HUGE numbers! We have a flock of around 200 eating as many rowan berries as they can find, this is a first for us as we have never seen them before, you tend to get a few over in the east of the UK but nothing like we are seeing. Has anyone else seen them around their area?    Simon |

You lucky man I have never seen a Waxwing in my life and sooooo many - brilliant.
Send a few down to Worcestershire please. Best I could do today is a small flock of Long tailed tits passing through.
Cheers

Hi Glyn
If you see what you think is a flock of starling, look again. They look just like waxwings when flying in a group.

Thanks for the tip. I have been telling my neighbours and they are equally jealous I have to say.
Fieldfares and Redwings doing their berry munching act.
Cheers

Thinking on it is such a good idea for us to notice and report on the natural history that we get close to whilst sneaking around our rivers and streams. Brings another dimension to our fishing and makes us feel privileged to see these wonderful things as well as trout and grayling!
