To add to Paul's lovely Waxwing photo, I watched one feeding berries to its mate at the back of Morrison's car park. Strange how the shoppers were oblivious to these lovely birds feeding close to their parked cars, but certainly not the first time that area has been used for a bit of courting!!
Tony Solomon's orchard was supporting 10+ Fieldfare and twice as many Redwings, with good views possible through the fence leading to Maes-y-Dre.
