This is a graph of waxwing sighting from this year's Big Garden Birdwatch - as expected it looks very different from those of recent years with many more sightings.
And there seem still to be lots of waxwings around. I heard today of sightings in Rothamstead, Herts and there are quite a few around in east Northants still. A waxwing winter is turning into a waxwing spring?
More than 600,000 people took part - one way to Step up for Nature. The results are set out here.
redkite - I've had thoughts in that direction myself. Doesn't make sense does it?
