Harriers and Waxwings

Today an early Christmas present for some when two long awaited Waxwings were found feeding on Rowan berries at Fitzwilliam Leys in Higham Ferrers. Looking at the many photos they showed well and it will be interesting to see if they hang around.  I'm hoping that it's the start of things to come as rather frustratingly they have been in all our neighbouring counties.  It would be good if they turned up in less residential areas as it is always a bit of a dilemma with pointing optics towards people's property.

There were two 'ringtail' Hen Harriers in the county today. Steve Fisher watched one fly north east over the main lake at Stanwick GP and this afternoon whilst walking the dogs I came across one battling the head wind below Hanging Houghton.   There was also a Marsh Harrier through Stanwick. 

We would like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and hope that you enjoy the day however you spend it. 

Regards Eleanor and Neil
