Waxwings at DWT Gang Mine Reserve

A flock of Waxwing were found at Middleton on the DWT Gang Mine Reserve on 11th February. Numbering up to 100 birds they have proved quite elusive for me but I finally found them today on my third visit.

They favour the hawthorns on the Dene Quarry side of the football pitch when entering the reserve from opposite the Stone Centre but may be encountered in other areas with hawthorn berries.
