 After doing a taxi first thing this morning, I went straight back to bed as I didn't feel so good. Mid-morning, Joe called me to say that there were 2 WAXWINGS at Sallyport! I was feeling a bit better, but I thought I would go later and have a look when I do a taxi from one of a houses two doors down from where the Waxwings are feeding. Just before 14.00, Ren called to say, there are now 3 WAXWINGS! Twenty minutes later, I was watching yesterdays 1st winter male. I met Robin just above the police station and he had an adult male feeding on Dog Rose berries. When we went to have a look, it was joined by a 1st winter female! She only stayed briefly, while the male stuck around for another ten minutes.
 It will be good to see if these birds increase, but there ain't many berries to go round.
