    Maybe you'll get lucky and see some in the motorway services.

    Ant,

    With the weather they're predicting for Cardiff the next few days, the Waxwings may be back in Lincolnshire before you arrive  ;-) 

    Best regards

    Never saw any Waxwings in Lincolnshire. We went for a walk around Freiston (by name Freezing by nature) Shore RSPB reserve. The trees were dripping with berries.

    I saw a flash of a grey head ... hopes rose .. crept along the hedgerow .. not waxwings,  but 50 gorgeous Fieldfares.

    We've just had a small flock of Redwings land on the trees here at work in Llantwit Fardre.
