While visiting Brandon Marsh near Coventry I was told that Waxwings were present. I have waited years to see these birds! I found the spot where they were active, and eventually a dozen or so landed in a bush just a few metres away from me. Wow, just wow!
These birds are absolute rock stars and I am beyond thrilled to have seen them at last.
I was chuffed to bits to catch up with these delightful winter visitors not 20 minutes from home. There were just 4 of the 20+ that had been showing an hour or so before I arrived. #waxwings
There are at least three flocks, local to us at the moment.
A very shifty looking fellow was casing our house yesterday... In the end, his gang just picked a few buds from our magnolia and then invaded our neighbor's gutter instead 😅 #Birds#BackyardBirds#Waxwings
Thanks to others posting their sightings in Edinburgh, I took a walk to Dalmeny Park to see the flock of waxwings. They were easy to see when flying but much harder in the trees. I took some pictures, and it was only when I was editing them that I realised there were many more in the tree than I saw at the time!
