Does anybody know where there is a flock of waxwings in Grimsby/Cleethorpes area that is anything like reliable and reasonably accessible? I run a small group of retired (from work) birdwatchers through U3A and some have never seen waxwings!! It would be great if we could catch up with a flock when we meet on Monday (14th). The flock(s) in Healing seem to have moved on so any help would be gratefully received. Thanks Martin Francis |

Thanks Terry but it is not entirely luck. A few years ago a flock visited cotoneasters just down the road from here regularly for 4 or 5 days, and a couple of years ago there was a flock at Scartho Baths for several days. I successfully put several friends on to these. I accept that you can't guarantee they will be there when you visit but I was just trying to find a way to increase the chances!! Thanks again Martin |
