4th January: Waxwings Still

Geoff Adams reported at least 50 WAXWINGS in Burgess Field NR this afternoon at around 3pm. It's great to have these birds around still.

I visited a little later in order to check out the roost. The ducks, mostly wigeon with some teal were all bobbing about on the east side of the "lake" along the side of Burgess Field. The North Shore was full of gulls, mostly the common stuff but with quite a few common gulls in amongst them and a single 3w YELLOW-LEGGED GULL the best I could manage.
