Waxwing fly by & garden visitors

A t(h)rilling Waxwing flew east right past me on Crestview Drive 10.10am walk back from ECCH meeting at Hamilton House! A Meadow Pipit also flew onto a roof calling just after I had seen the Waxwing (also along Crestview Drive). A quick look in the garden revealed an incredible total of 12 Greenfinches and 5 Chaffinches (my highest numbers for both species) feeding on the sunflower seeds whilst a Robin and 3 Blackbirds (1 male, 2 females) seen too and a wonderful Song Thrush perched on the fence facing us showing its spotty breast. I wonder how much more I would have seen had Fallowfields not been cleared?
