Little Bunting and Waxwings

 A Little Bunting relatively close to home gave us the opportunity for a mornings birding. We arrived at Stanborough Lakes and walked south along the path looking out for the green feeder. Upon arrival, there was a small group of birders already present including Matt and George M. The Little Bunting was busily feeding in the company of a few Reed Bunting. It was a little distant and difficult looking straight into the sun so we didn't stay long.




Brian wanted to use the spare time we had to visit Lincroft in Bedfordshire to see if the Waxwings were still present. We drove north up the M1 and parked in the high street and walked to Lincroft. Upon arrival, the three Waxwings were feeding on the crab apples in the front garden of the corner house.

It was nice to be out birding again and any day spent watching Waxwings is a pleasure.
