I spotted about 30 waxwings in the trees outside St Luke's Hospice yesterday afternoon.

Just been watching a flock of about 50 in the trees in the car park area of Hoole Street, Walkley. But they've just flown off at 13.30.

50 or more seen in the rowen trees in Broomhill outside Creme cafe- it looks like they are everywhere if you just look up:)

Yeh, I was there yesterday.

 

Went upstairs and got a really close up view of the flock. It's a beautiful thang!!!

10 waxwing sitting on the aerials above the offices on Furnival Street, city centre, plus 4 thrushes on the roof (fieldfare, I think) and hundreds of geese flying north over the city. Why would they be flying north?

Many geese come here in Winter then fly back to Iceland/Greenland/Canada in the Spring, it's a bit early for them to be going back now though.

Came across a flock of about 50+ of these birds last Saturday (12/02/11). Truly beautiful looking Birds.

A couple of Sundays ago I was out by Padley Chapel and saw upwards of 50 in the trees by the railway line.
