No long walks in the park for me today... but I glanced out of the bedroom window (well, with binoculars!) and picked up a group of Waxwing in the very same tree that I'd had one in back in 2007. There were five - possibly six - birds sat in the top of the large Oak on Finsbury Road, Warren Hill just before 2pm today. I got a poor record shot through the scope (and bedroom window) before they disappeared. However, they returned later, so I took a walk round there to try and get some better shots. I bumped into Gill on the way there and she came along too, and we managed some almost silhouetted views in the failing light before they took off again.
