A lunch time walk down the Wooler Water (close to the sewage works) produced a very confiding flock of 32+ waxwings. They were mainly feeding on hawthorn berries but also fly-catching. On occassions they dropped down to the river for a drink and bathe in the shallow pools. A worthy hour was spent watching their behaviour.
Two male goosander flew past the office window.
That's a nice flock of Waxwing George. They've made it over here now as well. Cheers, Seumus
