Waxwings in Warwick

After all the excitement I had last week chasing species across Hampshire and Norfolk, this week was somewhat subdued with no real action.

I knew that Waxwings had been reported about two weeks ago near Rowan Drive in Warwick and despite a couple of drive pasts, I had not seen anything (except berry trees still laden with fruit) and therefore decided to take the detour to work again this morning (on the off chance that they may still be around).

This time I spotted seven of them sitting in trees in exactly the same location.  Not sure if these are last remaining ones in the area, possibly not, but as they have been so common this year, people may not be bothering to report them anymore.  Still a nice sight though and a confirmation year tick (as the last flock I saw was about a month ago and just a fleeting glance of some in Leamington flying very purposely away).
