Local Patch Waxwings

Managed to get out for a couple of hours this afternoon and upon hearing there was some Waxwings along the cycle path at Rawcliffe Ings I headed off there, as I pulled up at the lay-by a small group of them flew over the car and across to the Park and Ride site, I got back in the car and drove back round there and found 20+ sat in a small tree with one or two dropping down to a small berry bush below, five minutes later they all headed back to the Ings, I however decided to head over to Rufforth Airfield where a couple of interesting Gulls were seen this morning, there were no Gulls on the Airfield but I found a gathering on an adjacent field, a bit distant and viewing over a hedge was not the best but I managed to pick out an interesting looking Gull I thought was maybe good for 1st winter Caspian, maybe the one seen earlier in the day although hard to say for sure.
