Just a heads up, these East winds seem to be bringing a lot of migrant birds over, we are having large numbers of Waxwings in Scotland, they will spread out so keep you eyes peeled.

Ooo never seen a waxwing. Where can I keep up with the latest sightings? I’m east coast so they must be around here.

I post on here(as do others), where are you? (not after your address, just nearest town)

Must warn our neighbours with hedges with berries.
. A few years ago a flock of them arrived in our garden when we had a row of pyracantha hedging full of berries. Every twig was stripped bare in a couple of hours! Was sad to lose my autumn colour so quixkly but had a lovely two hours watching them through my binoculars. Truly a magnificent sight to see so many.

I’m Just outside Ormiston / Tranent area.

Ahh not really on my patch in Angus, so I can't point you in the right direction. Try finding a local bird club, ours sends you a text when something out of the ordinary turns up, so you can have half a chance of finding it.

They’ve got as far as Kirkcaldy currently. A friend posted pics of a group sitting in a tree. Here’s hoping they make it this far down

They've been seen in Lincolnshire, just your luck at the moment, they are moving about
