Hi, I,ve never seen any waxwings, wheres the best place to start to try and find some, I live in Chorley

[Neil Southworth]

Mick,

Best place to look is anywhere where there are berries, particularly rowan. We are not aware of any in the Chorley area at the moment - the 4 which were in Adlington seem to have moved on. There has been a large flock of up to 200 birds in Euston Street, Preston during the last week or two, and 8 have been seen this morning near Morrison's on Preston Docks, which is not far from Euston Street as the Waxwing flies.

Thanks for that, I,ll go and have a look for them, fingers crossed
