20 Waxwings at 10.30 Crossflatts railway station

35 Waxwings in one group top of poplars between Morton Lane and Swine Lane from tow path. A group west of Swine Lane feeding on Hawthorn back of Morton Cemetery could have been a separate flock but they are quite mobile. Also a few groups of Redwing and the odd Fieldfare seen from tow path plus Goldfinches feeding on Ash keys.
