Ian Chaplin reported the sighting of 40 Waxwings today at 12:15pm in Waitrose car park on Berksbirds so i had a look at 2pm. I found them in 2 flocks at the library end(N) of the car park in the tall trees next to the library and in the tall trees near to the cinema/Brakspear’s offices (the Bull Courtyard)(N/E), from here they all flew to the tall trees on the Kings Rd side(W) of the car park before dropping down amongst the cars in the car park to feed on the small berry trees. The big problem is that the car park is very busy and the birds are constantly flushed by passers-by and cars, they were not spending much more than 30 seconds feeding and were flighty. When they did get a chance to snatch a few berries the views were fantastic, especially as these trees are small and the birds are almost at head height, a good number of passers-by stopped to watch and ask about them and all left very thrilled in seeing them. At 3:15pm they flew off in N/W direction in 2 flocks, i searched the local area and saw 2 flying towards Friar Park but couldn’t re-locate any others.

Amazing garden birds !!! 36 Waxwings appeared in our garden this morning perching in Silver Birch and flying down to feed in Sorbus- Mountain Ash. They come and go quite quickly so assume they are feeding on other berry trees nearby in Bicester.
