    Nice to see approx 40 waxwings this morning feeding in berry bush on RHS half way along Matlock Road while driving into Chesterfield from Matlock. Plenty of berries remaining so the birds should stick if anyone wants to try for them.

    No sign of any phalaropes or shearwaters this morning, but pleased to find a single juv Shag remaining on the Tower at Millfields giving good views despite the rain. Checking my records I recalled I saw the first Carsington Shag in April 1994, an adult bird present from Feb until May, joined for...
