You are lucky, Redwings, Waxwings and Fieldfares are uncommon in this area. I have never seen a Waxwing (yet)

Wow a super garden tick!
I was waiting outside school for one of my sons a long time ago.......and looked up to see a Waxwing in a tree right above my head........completely oblivious to all the playground noise and chaos surrounding it!
