My daughter phoned me yesterday to say she had a flock of waxwings in her garden, she lives in Stamford, Lincs. Not long ago, she had a green woodpecker on her lawn and took photos on her phone. I have been feeding the birds for years and years and get a good variety in my garden in Peterborough. I got her on to the bird feeding bug and now after only a few months, she is getting all these birds I have never seen in the flesh. I am madly jealous but at least she sends me the pictures.

Oh to have a flock of waxwings in my garden...she's so lucky. I'm not too far from Stamford so perhaps.......
We've had Waxwings in our garden.. about 3 weeks ago .. we do feed the birds, there was about 6/8 of them... they stayed for about 2 hours... we get a Spotted Woodpecker..and a while back.. we saw a Jay...Were in Somerset
Crisper...my daughter was in Somerset til recently. Now in Devon but still goes back to the Levels for the murmuration....spectacular sight.
Gness... yep a truly wonderful sight... we actually see them often .. here... as they go off to roost for the night....
You can count me in as jealous too, I've not seen any waxwings in my garden either!
I do get a lot of other birds coming in to feed though, including green parakeet's.
Last summer a Male Bullfinch came in and finished off my Saskatoon's, but it was worth it just to see those lovely colors
I'm seeing them daily in Sheffield at the moment. They've eaten all the tree-berries & they're feeding on the shrub-berries in peoples gardens.
