Rough-legged Buzzard
Rough-legged Buzzard 
Mill Hill NW7: c.80 Waxwing seen flying off rapidly north-west at 08:06 from Chadbury Court on the A1/A41 Watford Way, near Fiveways Corner, with about 15 remaining (even though the trees have now been completely stripped of berries). Do not park in Chadbury Court's private slip road; park in Tithe Walk or Page Street and use the subway to cross Watford Way or park at Pentavia Retail Park and walk back. The Waxwings were relocated on Aerdrome Way opposite the retail park feeding on quickly disappearing berries from 8.50am to 9.15am. They were then spooked and became very flighty and I lost them but could still be nearby.Saw them from Retail Park c9:15 gathering in top of tree by footbridge over M1 then flew north. Quick look around Graham Park Estate with no luck.And a well done to devilbirder for winning top nutcase birder award: http://randonsramblings.blogspot.co.uk/
Hyde Park / Kensington Gardens: male Goosander showing well on Long Water a.m. at least, Tawny Owl showing well.Blackheath: 3 Waxwing still on Old Dover Road bridge over the A2, midday.
