Sunday 23rd January: Waxwings

20+ waxwings in Wootton still along the main Abingdon to Cumnor Road approx. 600m north of the Hungry Horse restaurant
(per the Wickster)

BBOWT Dry Sandford Pit reserve, Cothill: 13 waxwings initially found feasting on the large apple tree at the entrance on the reserve and then up to 53 were followed around the reserve whilst they fed on privet and hawthorn berries as well as rosehips. The birds were also watched drinking and bathing from the small stream at the back of the reserve. The birds were very approachable and photogenic.

25 waxwings at the Abingdon Road entrance to the Iffley Road/Uni Sports Club

54 Wawings were sat in a tree opposite our house in Gainsborough Green, Abingdon Friday morning at 09:15 staying there for 5 minutes before flying off north.
