Highlight of the whole weekend, at the last gasp of daylight was 2+ WAXWING going to roost in Little Kelk. There were possibly more but it was fading light - I could definitely see two but the calling suggested there may have been more. This is my second record, the first being about 20 years ago, practically in the same spot!
Year list inches up two notches...
109 Treecreeper
