I've noticed a couple of questions about Waxwing on the sightings page recently so I thought I'd try and answer them. I think we would be very lucky to get the same number of Waxwings as we had last winter. Waxwing is an irruptive species meaning that the number of birds visiting Britain varies from year to year depending on the conditions (such as the amount of food available) in the area they normally inhabit e.g. Northern Europe. Last winter was a great example of an irruption year for Waxwing when large numbers migrated to Britain. Waxwings tend to arrive into northern and eastern parts of Britain first from about October onwards. Most of the sightings I've heard of so far have involved 1 or 2 birds but it is possible a small flock may turn up in the northeast before the end of the year. If you have seen Waxwings in a certain area before its worth checking the same place during the winter as they may turn up at some point. I've found that I often find Waxwings because I hear them calling, so it is definitely worth familiarising yourself with the call if you don't know it already. The RSPB have sound recordings on their website. I hope this information helps.
Thanks,
Adam
