It's taken ages for this Waxwing winter to reach this far south; I'd convinced myself that I wasn't going to catch up with any this winter. Sadly, there have been no large flocks anywhere around so going for the five at Whiteley felt like the only option.
Took a while to find them, or rather find the line of togs staring into some distant bushes on the edge of the football pitches. Relocated the car, walked through the shops and found some nice new ( and dry!) benches to sit on and watch the 5 go about their business.
Unsurprisingly Andy and Sarah were there, although Sarah was wisely sat in the warm of the car! A few other recognisable faces.
Then off home to collect the camera just in case they hang around and the light improves in the next couple of days. Nice to see but sad there haven't been any largers flocks in Hants or West Sussex.
