Anyone know of any wawings near Swaffham? I'd like to connect with some but don't have much time this week.

Well I spent some time this morning looking for one but with no luck. Then had a single fly over me calling when over in Dereham collecting stuff (over the council offices behind Tesco).

Same here.. Not seen one all year.. Until this morning when 6 flew over Delaneys in Norwich city centre on my walk in to work.
Many more to follow I'm sure!

If you are on twitter follow @waxwingsuk they have records from all over the country. There have been several sightings of birds feeding at the junction of York street and Rupert street just off Unthank road. If you walk along Rupert street there are a lot of berries so I think they will hang around for a while. Good luck.

Thanks for the info I will give it a go when I get the chance.

Barnacle's what? And who is Barnacle?

 

[Connor Rand]

At least 17 Waxwings now around Rupert Street/York Street junction in Norwich. Proving a very effective distraction from work at the moment. Light was rubbish, they quickly departed to a distant tree but you get the picture...

Anyone know where the Great Yarmouth Waxwings are today, not seen in the area of the industrial estate.

I don't know of any about on the North Norfolk coast at the moment, but there are a few with a Ross' Goose and a flock of Pink-footed Geese being seen near Haddiscoe in East Norfolk.

I don't understand, didn't you see them near the industrial estate this morning?

I share your discombobulation, James.

In fact, my Bomby has rarely been so cilla’d.

I only work a few miles from these, but am unable to see them, as it’s too dark by the time I leave the chalk-face.

55 shags roosted on Sunny Hunny cliffs tonight. Look north from the top of the ramp in front of the Salad Bowl cafe. Also RTDiver.

 

[GYBirder23]

Yes I did but someone went to see them (The Waxwings) but they did not locate them so wondered if they had moved elsewhere for his benefit

It's highly likely these Barnacles originate from the substantial feral population in the local area. They attempted to nest on Thorpe marshes, Haddiscoe the year before last

Thanks for info James

50 Waxwings reported briefly at the Sandy Wall/river junction at Strumpshaw today. From the sounds of it they didn't hang around for long, but its the largest flock I have heard of in Norfolk so far this year (?)

Are these birds being seen throughout the day or just on odd occasions. I am tempted to pop over for a look but won't have as much time as I would like.
