    Waxwings Hi Flock of 20 to 30 Waxwings in the tall trees to the very front of HMYOI Deerbolt at Barnard Castle today Tuesday at 11:00. Not feeding just perched, I don't think there are many berry rich trees/bushes around this area so they may depart quickly. Hope it helps with someone's year...
