A free morning today saw us go in search of the Waxwings in Ipswich. As we turned into Blanche Street we found the single Rowan tree. The tree was full of white rowan berries, but there was no sign of the Waxwings. A quick search of the surrounding area and we found all seven birds perched at the top of a nearby Oak tree. They spent the majority of the time we were present in the Oak tree, venturing down to eat a few berries every half an hour, but quickly flying back to the Oak.
Before heading home we made a detour to Lynford, stopping on the way in Euston, there was no sign of any Golden Pheasant but I added Coal and Marsh Tit to the year list.
Lynford proves very disappointing, the feeding station is no longer in use. This used to be alive with birds but not any longer. There are still some feeders by the bridge and we watched the usual Marsh, Coal, Blue, and Great Tits coming in to feed. There was a large flock of Siskin feeding in the tops of the nearby trees, but there was no sign of any Hawfinch on this occasion.
