Another trip to Whiteley

Much sunnier weather made for better views of the five Waxwings but sadly they refused to come down low so were always against a blue or grey sky.
Being a weekday the site was overrun with workers and shoppers, several of whom were interested to find out why we were there; one assumed we were waiting for a celebrity until I put him straight!!

Andy was back for another go and Barry and Margaret were there for the first time and Bryn was there on his own. Plenty of other unknown togs etc.

A single, wary Mistle Thrush feeding on the football pitch and a ragged soaring Buzzard were the only other birds.

A coffee and cake in M&S followed by a quick check; the Waxwings had disappeared and most people gone home much to the relief of some irate motorists!! Time to leave. The traffic into the site was backed up to the motorway almost.
