A bit of recent History...
2005 was a good year for Waxwings and Frome had its moment.
In May at least 100+ Waxwings were to be seen at Frome station
(presumably not trying to get a train or no doubt they would still be
there for us to see today!) and 100+ the following day in a private garden.
It seems so far the rowan crop in North Eastern Europe has been good
and reports of Waxwings few and far between Or do you know different...
