Back in December I speculated about whether or not this would be another Waxwing winter. So far there has yet to be a true invasion of these wonderful winter visitors but some modest-sized groups have reached us over the last week or two, illustrated by a slight rise in the BirdTrack reporting rate. A BTO staff member was lucky enough to have one in his garden; another bird was sadly brought in dead to the Nunnery, having hit a window elsewhere in Thetford. Hopefully there will be further arrivals this week, providing more of us the chance to reaquaint with these stunning birds.
