    the waxwings are proving extremely elusive here, though i'm not too bothered because the 700 plus pics of them from sheffield make up for it. it's still a tad frustrating having a fruitless search for 8 of them here when there's 500 within a couple of miles of my old house

    we heard the water rails squealing yesterday, but no sightings. we did have a single cuckoo do a circuit of the site before flying off over the golf course, it was soundly mobbed by the whole population of warblers while it flew round the site
