Wonderful Waxwings!







It hasn`t been a good year for Waxwings where we live in Lancs, with only the odd isolated bird reported locally.I had to travel a good way into Cumbria to obtain these images, but it was well worth the drive.
Once located they really are a pleasure to photograph giving good close views.I think these particular birds had been in the same area for two to three weeks, feeding on the abundant crop of Rowan berries which adorned a small cluster of trees!
I took these shots a good month ago, so now I`d imagine that these three birds will be well on their way back to Scandanavia in preparation for the breeding season.What fantastic little birds these are to watch!
