The last substantial October/November invasions into the UK were back in the early 1990s. In November 1990 we colour-ringed 189 waxwings and thanks to a superb effort by many birdwatchers, 115 sightings of 54 colour-ringed birds were reported throughout the UK away from Aberdeen that winter, as well as birds in Denmark and the Netherlands.
