I caught up with the Waxwings on the junction of Scotland Road and Leeds Street again today, this particular flock of birds are very approachable as they feed away on the Cotoneaster berries, in total there where 37 birds this morning and early afternoon, but they are prone to flying off and disappearing for a good while.....be warned! Also there 2 Blackcaps, several Redwings and apparently a pair of Sparrowhawks have been displaying overhead over the last couple of days.
Bumped into another local birder who informed me of a male Goosander and 2 Mergansers on Princes Dock and a local pair of Peregrines in courtship lately. Oh and to top it off I was interviewed for the Daily Post concerning the Waxwings, they are even getting into the local press!

Hi Danny
Glad you were able to get back to Scotland Road and take such great pictures of the Waxwings there. I spotted a small flock of nine from my back window this morning, in trees over the East Lancs road. Does this qualify as a garden tick?
Cheers
Mike
