"Quiet" start to new year

Two walks along the canal in the middle of the valley today and yesterday produced little in the way of unusual sightings but some refreshing song.  Singing robins, and song thrushes were evident, but the highlight was several rooks interacting around the rookery just north of the water bridge (also accessibhle off Aldersley Rd).
Just off the patch was a flock of waxwing on Pendeford avenue, 50 yards north of the shopping parade.  Hard to count although birdguides reported 50 but incredibly easy to see.
