Went vismigging for Waxwings. No Waxwings. Did get a Buzzard finally though!
Had a quick think to see if I could come up with 10 bird species that are still possible. It was shockingly easy!

Usually at least one GND in the bay here this time of year, often 2 or 3. Treecreeper is a dead cert in my square. Had a Waxwing at the start of the year, perched in the tree outside my window for a while. Had just a couple of Peregrine fly overs, I expected them more often considering the habbo here and number of ducks/Rock Doves. As for Buzzard...daily everywhere! :D Mind you, I still need 26 more species myself, so I best shut up and grab a moss or something.
