Message received from Nick Tongue -
Thought this may be of interest, from someone on BirdForum (www.birdforum.net)
AndrewF123, Monday 14/11/11: "Waxwings turned up in Skipton yesterday [Sunday 13/11/11] 10 days earlier than last year. Anybody else seen any? I expected the milder weather to delay their arrival."
