Waxwing Food Supply

This is a bit of a `random` blog, but I will share it anyway. I had to go to the x - ray dep`t at the Royal
Shrewsbury Ozzie on Friday, looking out of the corridor window I saw a quadrangle that had both acacia and rowan laden with untouched ripe berries - for info only - lol.
I commented yesterday on `tweeting`, I have never done it myself but curiosity got the better of me. I entered `bird watching` in the search area and was pleasantly suprised with the result. There is a lot of current bird news available plus one site marked @waxwinguk that would be ideal for anyone whose work et`c takes them OoC, also a good site on current `Hawfinch` sightings as well as BTO and rare breeds seen recently (No subscriptions) Hope this will interest someone.
Regards to all.
