Waxwing Sightings

Friday 16th November

22 Waxwings Barnham drive.  As this report went out late I looked for them on Saturday morning but no sign except for mistle thrushs protecting their berries!!

Sunday 18th November

25 Waxwings back on Barnham drive but better still I managed to see which trees they are roostng in.  They like the large Popular trees by the railway bridge on Childwall Valley rd.

100+ waxwings seen on Fountains rd off Stanley rd or Westminister rd.

We visited Barnham Drive twice over the weekend, at around 3pm on Saturday and 10am today, and were lucky enough to see them straight away both times, around 20 birds. Definitely worth a visit if anyone is thinking about it! We then carried on to Milner Street, Warrington which was even better, a flock of around 50 that stayed around all day (and according to earlier reports have been there for quite a few days already).
