So far this week...

Well, an urgent call from Sarah had me scurrying out on Sunday afternoon. She'd seen some "grey,pinky birds with crests" on her walk to work and wondered if they were "those ones you've been on about all winter and not seen". Indeed they were, a flock of around 20 Waxwings, virtually on the doorstep! I barely had chance to get my bins on them before they were off, but at least I'd seen some. The following morning was a cold start with a few flakes of snow, so on my way home from work I took a detour back to where I'd seen them, sure enough, there they were, although now their number had increased to 55. More relaxed this time I managed to take a few shots with the camera. I suspect these are on their way back to the continent now, so it was probably the last chance to see any this winter, although I will probably take a look on my way home later.....just in case!
