Stuck some on the id thread.
Steve don't know if you are popping over for the RBG at all but if you're still after the above then I think there must be a roost near Jay House Lane (not too far) as at about 15:00 the numbers there tonight went from a dozen to 100+ in about 15 minutes with birds still dropping in.

joking apart..i have seen no redpoll that looks as pale as that in my lot.???arctic.
Joe, the birds were present at 10.30 this morning, approx 80. Very skittish though, hardly settlling for any time. They were frequenting the trees on the grassed area between the motorway and Normanton Grove, Normanton Place and Cambrian Street. Map HERE

I think I saw the same flock yesterday. On my way to visit family and came of the M621 for Holbeck (where the roadworks are - 40mph on M621) there was a flock of about 50 + birds in the trees next to the road junction - (turn right for holbeck city centre, left for Beeston). It was a great start to the day seeing as I have been out for the last 3-4 weeks trying to find some!

Managed to get a Mealy Redpoll for myself on strensall common. Very pale bird mixed in with about 20 lessers. They were congragating in the trees near the pond, coming down to drink in ones and twos.

4x waxwing at Hunsingore 12.00 today. Leave A168 and head for Cattal. There is a bungalow on the left just past the entrance to Hunsingore village. After bungalow is a small orchard with well rotting apples still on a tree. Waxwings are eating those. You can get close but they get spooked if noisey vehicles come past. I took 88 good pictures. They head into the tall trees across the next field but soon come back.

Thanks

Thanks Keith but out all day yesterday, didn't pick up your info 'til this afternoon, 2.30pm. I went through on the offchance but didn't see owt.
Just to say though and it's a sad statement of the times we live in, that I didn't feel happy about driving slowly and walking around that area with the bins around my neck so near to the school, I just felt as though everyone was looking and thinking................? :-C
Cheers Joe

More or less my thoughts Joe. I thought about taking the bus down there but decided it was outside my comfort zone.
Frustratingly as I was walking back from the corner shop in Burley this afternoon I think heard a single flyover |

Certainly outside my comfort zone.... glad I went early doors on Sunday. Wouldn't want to hang around there too long during the middle of the day. Although I do tend to hide the bins under my arm when birding in urban areas.
