NB. With the expected influx of Waxwings into the UK, small flocks are now being encountered within the recording area and at locations which are considered to be sensitive, such as schools. Please adopt a common sense and responsible approach to any such site where birds may turn up, especially when children are present. The presence of groups of people with optical instruments and cameras can cause public concern and we would politely and respectfully request that birders are fully aware of their surroundings and enjoy the birds without causing public anxiety and negating the need for Police response to situations which can be avoided . Thank you and good birding.
