They were simply stunning; so exotic in that environment. I have seen many thousands since, including a flock of 1,300 which assembled in the Pegwell/Ebsfleet area during the winter of 2010/11 ? There's just something about them that makes you want to see more. If I ever tire of such sights, then it's time to hang up my bins.Dylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-88099373702759465332017-01-24T06:44:12.671+00:002017-01-24T06:44:12.671+00:00Dyl, Waxwings! fantastic birds.

I came across Waxwings in six other places that winter, but not when officially birding. Birders never really stop birding, do they?<br />I drink both tea and coffee. Masses of it. I've gone to de-caf which isn't great for tea but coffee has a chance. Might stop me thinking a three hour sleep is a good one.<br />Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714117508358025668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-22029615338727252252017-01-24T05:48:10.903+00:002017-01-24T05:48:10.903+00:00Yorkshire leaf tea for me and I probably drink one...Yorkshire leaf tea for me and I probably drink one or two cups of coffee a year, don't like the stuff.

Waxwings were due to show up within the local area, at some time or other, given the influx this year - but, as you say "patch watching at its' best"<br />Teabags - now sir I can tell you a thing or two about these items. My first job, when I joined Unilever, was within Brooke Bond as a warehouse operative. My task included assembling various tea blends, from palletized tea chests, onto a wooden conveyor belt (very important that it was wooden!) before an automated system carried the assembled tea chests into the cutters department, where the lids were removed, then on to the blenders!<br />The tea bag was the greatest invention ever for increased profitability of the tea industry. Leaf tea - you can see exactly what your buying/brewing. Hidden in a tea bag - you wouldn't believe what gets in there! By the way, it's only Bev who drinks tea - I'm a coffee man myself! - Dyl Dylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-53638581287994494802017-01-23T17:28:14.159+00:002017-01-23T17:28:14.159+00:00Ah, patch watching at it's best, well done.
