LOCAL MEGAS - RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS and WAXWINGS

What an amazing morning in Amersham - firstly Rob Andrews recorded the first ever RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS in the area - a party of 6 birds including 4 drakes that flew over Shardeloes Lake along the Misbourne Valley at 1137 hours and then Stuart and Lesley Wilson discovered a flock of 18 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS in the two Pink Sorbus trees by the Industrial Estate in White Lion Road. I searched exhaustively for the flock later with Chris Hazell but found just 24 FIELDFARE and 8 REDWINGS on various shrubs in the town
