Other stuff just coming through from the Radar man at Skeg (1100hrs this morning) 1100 Skegness text update from Andy: "" in addition to Starlings, Robin, Blackbird, mipits and Skylark all coming in off since last report.. brilliant""
Eddie: Also from UK pager reports this morning it is clear that there has been a further arrival of Waxwings to add to the already frequent (in the last few days) distribution down our east coast. 21 Waxwings even reported from Cumbria this morning so they are coming inland! Also interesting that where flight directions are quoted that a lot of them are north? (ready for Ste to see them!)
