    Up in Aviemore here has be been a local showing well flock of glorious Waxwing showing really well. Local birders have been really enjoying them and I am honestly not jealous:84:

    I last saw a Waxwing in Autumn 2018, a fine single bird on my local patch here in North Wales.

    I've seen a few redwing about, but no waxwings so far.
    Keeping an eye out for fieldfares too.
    All winter visitors from Scandinavia.
    Maybe the current cold weather snap, will bring some in.

    2 local Carrion Crows really enjoying the return of an old natural pond.
    The Land Owners On my locally patch did some healthy clearing and this Pond that disappeared decades ago is Free to exist again:36:

    I am really looking forward to all sorts of potential Wildlife returning such as Great Diving Beetles, Newts, Frogs, Toads, Dragonflies, Damselflies, Pond Skaters And Water Boatmen:49:

    Also this is good for all local Wildlife attracting different Mammals and Birds:36:

    Funnily enough good friend, my daughter and I were talking about that this morning. It's been so quiet as far as bird sightings is concerned. We;ve not seen any Fieldfares, Redwings and it's been a couple of years sinse we've a Waxwing. It's very strange, and worrying.
