Just had an email saying waxwings have been sighted in west and south yorkshire yesterday so all you yorkies keep an eye out.

Hi ladybird
Been this morning, Finished up on a road called gisborne road
one chap there with telescope. pulled up and he was watching waxwings.
must have been a good hundred feeding and flying into poplars. was wll worth going but didn't bother going on to ecclesall road . I would think with all the berries they will stay WELL WORTH IT. regards Ray got some pictures
Oh!!!! That's fantastic!!! I'll definitely go there tomorrow. Thank you SOOOOO much for letting me know. And your pics are great.
Thanks again
Why is there never enough time?

One of the Ilkley waxwings taken last Sunday. Still there today, have to search for them, but should hear them before seeing them.
Hi-
it's probably worth checking with a call to your local Birdline before going. Expensive but safer :)

I'm assuming it's Sheffield and believe theres a cemetry on that road
hi ladybird.
Maxwell said cemetry ave not road
Hi Ray,
I've just got back from Sheffield. What a morning! I had only been parked up for 5minutes and I saw my first Waxwings!! I took some photo's and walked around a bit listening for some more, spoke to quite a few locals who were more than happy to say where the Waxwings would be. I'm not very good at estimating numbers but I should think there was about a hundred in the flock which kept breaking up and the re-gathering in different trees.
I've put a couple of photo's on
Thanks again for your info. Gisborne Road/Dobbin Hill were the best places for me.
Hi Ladybird
Really glad you found them, I was nattering myself hoping they were still there.
It was brilliant. I've been wanting to see a waxwing since I got my first birdook when i was 8 years old. A dream come true. Thanks again for the tip off. There were a few other birders around while I was there so hopefully plenty of people saw them.
