10 Waxwings at Crestview Drive

On Tuesday 7th November, leaving work at 3.10pm, (taking my afternoon off a day earlier), I drove straight to Melrose Close & Stirling road, Oulton but no sign of the Waxwings. Driving along Crestview Drive just 50 metres south of the Spashett road junction, I first heard the trilling of the Waxwings and after stopping by a layby I saw a berry laden bush and 2 trees behind that the furthermost one revealed the excellent 10 Waxwings all perched up. I drove to the other side of the road to give them space to fly down and feed on the berries, which eventually 3 duly did. Unfortunately the sun was setting and the birds were mostly silhouetted so no pictures this time.
