We drive down Ashton Road looking for any berry bushes, on finding a small tree that was full of berries we park up & sit & wait hoping we are in the right place,we wait over an hour & think we might have missed them when 3 birds drop onto the large tree by the berry tree, we confirm that they are the Waxwings & then another 20 land on the same tree.
So well worth the short trip to watch these lovely birds as they drop onto the berries to feed.
After we have had our fill of the Waxwings we head nearer to home & pop into Connaught Waters as a Pintail Duck has been seen there.
It's an easy tick as we pick out the duck as soon as we arrive, most of the water is frozen over so everything on the water is in small groups where ever the ice has been broken, that made it easy to pick out the target bird, the water was frozen but it was a very pleasant day with a fair bit of sunshine.
