Shefford WAXWINGS update

I have just returned from there, just want to say cheers for Adam Hough for finding them and getting the word out and providing directions. I parked in the 1 of the 3 spaces opposite the post office in the town and walked down the river. I'd say there is definitely 50 WAXWINGS present, maybe more. They are quite mobile but due to the large number of them quite easy to find (and hear!!). Berries are scattered around, I wouldn't say there is "plenty" left but due to it being near a housing estate i would guess there is a decent supply around; some just may be inaccessible.

The birds are confiding with dog walkers/kids on bikes etc going right underneath them although they are mobile and are flying around all over the place, they are even coming down to the stream in large numbers to drink. Passers by/residents seem quite interested asking questions.

Mark Thomas was present and spotted a colour ringed bird so keep your eyes out, i'm going to trawl through my many photos to see if i have any! Enjoy them, they are brilliant! - Ben Andrew
