A last minute diversion on my way home from an unsuccessful hunt for Dipper along the Bournbrook proved to be the right move. Nevertheless, I only had a couple of minutes after parking my car and noticing two women looking up into a berry bush. I had a hunch they might be looking at Waxwing: they occurred at Windermere Road, Moseley playing field car park a couple of years ago. Just enough time to get a record shot before a Fieldfare sent the two Waxwings packing.

Seven Waxwings were seen early this morning (MJI), but none were seen late morning or early afternoon.

Thanks Chris. 'Birmingham' is so broad I wasn't sure they were the same birds.

As per numerous reports, a substantial number of Waxwings have finally found their way to the berry trees in Windermere Road car park over at least the last two days.

52 present today around 1.30pm, being harried by a Mistle Thrush. I was told by those on site that they were attempting to feed for a few minutes a time, then leaving before returning a few minutes later, and that they'd done this at least five times in the preceding hour.

Most of the 50+ Waxwings early afternoon: a fine sight.

What's the berry situation like at Moseley? Are there many left? Might pop over at weekend if they're still around.

Cheers.

Cheers Des.

I much prefer drinking grapes of the red variety, so the berries will be safe.8-P
