One waxwing on rowan in front of Botley church hall (per Nic Hallam)
The church hall is on West Way near the parade of shops just past the flyover on the left hand side as you head out of Oxford (click here for streetmap). It is spending much of its time in a tall tree on the opposite side of the road to the hall, making brief sorties to the rowan tree by the hall entrance. Free parking by shop parade. (Gnome)
Still there till 11:38am at least.
