Hailsham, Sussex
What a delight! 16 Waxwings turned up on the outskirts of Hailsham, just in time for Christmas.
Martin and I travelled down the short distance from Uckfield, late on Friday afternoon, after the first reported sightings.
- Unfortunately we were about 5 minutes too late as the birds had departed in the fading light. All that we found were Redwings.
Thankfully they returned next morning and we travelled down to the site again.
- The birds were spread between the ash tree on the Cuckoo Trail and the berry-laden bushes by the side of Ersham Road. Obviously, the views were terrific as shown by Martin's photographs.
and one from Polly Mair - who first reported the sightings.
What a festive delight!
