A quick visit to Rendlesham for the Waxwings was unsuccessful as they were not present this afternoon. Drove about local rural Suffolk lanes looking for photographic potential and ended up a Shingle Street where I saw a Little Egret, 4 Stonechat and 1 Barn Owl before dusk. As I drove back into Woodbridge at around 4pm I spotted a flock of 25 Waxwings at the roadside at the Melton/Wilford Bridge road junction. I managed a couple of grab shots from the car before the lights changed. Later I saw 40+ Waxwings high up being spooked by a Sparrowhawk over Woodbridge. Still not on the garden list though!
