One of the six (later 7) Waxwing at Beeston Common
I was out yesterday before breakfast to try to catch up with the flock of Whooper Swans which have been hanging about Aylmerton Stone Cross for the past few days. I gave the area a good look over but alas no sign. Back home eating breakfast an NENBC alert from Tony comes through -'six Waxwings at Beeston Common'! It's been a while since I saw these lovely birds in the area so I decided to give India photo editing a miss and headed off. As might be expected for this species - which generally hang around until they've exhausted their food supply - they were still there. Remarkable sedentary and in poor light they didn't give themselves up to good photos but nice to see all the same. On my way home I decided to go the back roads past the Stone Cross - this time I could see six white blobs across the field. Actually they were reasonably close but part obscured from the road by a dip in the field. On the drive home I realised that both species would make relatively easy additions to my 'NENBC Eco list'. I returned home, got the bike ready and spent the next couple of hours retracing my steps, but this time using pedal power. Both species now added to my Eco list.
