Yesterday was one that I will remember for the rest of my life! It’s the day that my second granddaughter was born and the day we had Waxwings in Alphington.(again).  Amazingly they are in a tree on one of the main thoroughfares through the village and in exactly the same Rowan that they were feeding on when previously seen here 5 years ago. They are an amazing spectacle and a real joy to watch and being so photogenic makes it even better.  People are travelling from all the corners of Devon to see them and to think that they are right here only a few hundred metres from my house. Yesterday there were just 2 but this morning that had increased to a small flock of 5  and by lunchtime there were 6, possibly 7.
