Suffolk – Ipswich – 28th November 2010

As I’m sure you have heard this November there has been a large influx of Waxwings, hopefully leading to what we know as a “waxwing winter”. We went in to town this weekend to get a view on one of the larger flocks reported so far, about 150 birds congregating around the hospital. They were spectacular, and I strongly advise anyone to take the opportunity to view these hugely attractive birds.

I've never had the pleasure of seeing a Waxwing. I'll keep my eyes peeled!

Any around in the SW Suffolk/Cambs/Essex border country?

There are plenty being reported all over East Anglia. Best to check out the birdguides web site under bird news extra, you will need to register but its free, Addy is: http://birdguides.com.
