Mallard Drive, Uckfield, Sussex
I was all ready to go down to Maresfield to see the waxwings when I looked out of my kitchen window to see a flock of 20+ waxwings perched in the canopy of the tall trees.
I was gobsmacked!
They stayed for about 30 minutes before flying away. A couple of days later, whilst walking the dog, I noticed a large flock just down from my house, this time feeding on the berries. They obviously hadn't left so I put the alert out on social media and the rest is, as they say, history.
The waxwings stayed for 8 days before moving a couple of hundred metres away to the junction of Eastbourne Road and New Road. As of today (12/01/2024) they are still there and showing well at times.
Numbers have exceeded the 100 mark.
A happy Waxwing New Year to everybody!
