Waxwings

We've gorrem in Sheffield. Pity I'm in Surrey for Xmas.

[gness]

Well that's a bummer, Melv...still....I'm nearer to Sheffield than you!...x

[melv16]

They usually stay most of the winter, so it's odds on that I'll get to see them. Did I mention that I got 80+ in my front garden about 3 years ago ;-)

[gness]

Do you know, Melv.....I think you may just have mentioned that you had 80+ in your garden....in fact...I'm sure you did!..x

[melv16]

Well, knock me down with a feather, gness:-)

[melv16]

Sheffield is awash with them. Some are not far from my house :-)

[Tilly2]

Aw, that's a shame!

[melv16]

I'm back oop north on Thursday, so it's a cert that I'll see them, tilly:-)

[Tilly2]

They'll be gone by Thursday, Melv. They're flying down to Bedfordshire, I hear.

[melv16]

Yaaaaayyyyy. Got a single one about an hour ago. If I'd been there at 8-00 I'd have got 400!

[gness]

Lovely, Melv....but you're beginning to sound like an angler!..... ☺

Nearest to me is a flock in Raunds....about twenty miles away......x

[melv16]

They're in several sites around the city. I'm going to venture out this afternoon to see them.
I'll report back to gness and Tilly.

'Melv16...120. Tilly/gness..zilcho'

Ah, yes, but Gness has a pair of long-tailed thingies....

[melv16]

After seeing my last post, Tilly and gness will be long tailed lemon suckers:-)

[melv16]

Somebody did a more accurate count than me. So the amended score is: Melv16..200. Tilly/gness.0
