February 26th (GARDEN WAXWINGS)

Waxwings at last,six birds sitting in our rowan tree,peering down at the apples which I have been putting out as bait since November 2012.Everything was looking good,my garden net was already in place,my heart was thumping,then gone----a passing car spooked them---damn.
Will they return,not yet at least,its now 1400 and they were in the garden for all of forty five seconds around 1100.

    I feel for you mate, it would have been great if you could have ringed them.
    I know how you feel. Earlier this week in the afternoon I had 29 Waxwings in next door in their tree, like you I was hoping that they would come to my apples but no.
