Thank you for those kind words Stuart I'm glad your other half enjoyed them too.
Have you looked at the waxwings at rodborough common just outside Stroud in Gloucestershire looks like a nice walk and car parking is close by they are at the back of the castle area birds in blue car parks are the red areas.
I'm not sure if they are still there though. It's worth joining the waxwing groups on Facebook to keep a track of them.
I'm just very lucky that I'm normally in the right place at the right time. Without a touch of luck you can know everything but see nothing.

Quick up date Waxwings today at Minchinhampton Common, they were seen briefly at Rodborough Common then flew off to Minchinhampton Common.

Did see a hare an shorty on way to site at dawn this morn though and a munty waited for me before she crossed the road, on way home
