The highlight of a quiet weekend came late in the afternoon when we received a phone call saying a member of the public had reported a group of 30 Waxwings in a local garden. A quick dash around to the address and 31 Waxwings were indeed in the garden! A cat then appeared in the garden and the birds flew off SW.
