Waxwing-less

After receiving exciting e-mails about waxwings seen along the Mall, I decided to head out and find them.

I arrived and found nothing. Went round every berry-bearing bush in St. James' Park (there were two) and found nothing. Lots of woodpigeons eating all the berries the waxwings should have been eating but never mind!

One highlight was a tree that contained a rose-ringed parakeet, a jay, and a great spotted woodpecker. All at the same time!

There were rare geese and scarce ducks all over the place but I'm not ticking them due to the fact that they're blatantly captive and I'd feel a little dirty if I ticked...

Back to watching the bush outside my back window for waxwings then... it will happen...
