Glorious sunshine today, so I nipped out at lunch to have a look for some local Waxwings that are technically a patch tick (I say technically, what I actually mean is that these are within the Soar Valley South patch boundary whereas the previous one I saw a few years ago was on the boundary). Just aswell I bothered as I got some glorious views of the ravenous beauties and even managed to get a few shots ..... click for big. I nipped past on the way home aswell - I took a shot of them all perched in a tree and counted them on the big screen - at least 105.

Were any of them singing and flycatching Mark? We sometimes see that before they head across the watter!
Oh and I forgot, stunning photos there too!
Lots of trilling and scoffing going on Stewart, but no singing. As far as I can see the berries are Himalayan Tree-cotoneaster (or something very similar). Must taste bitter as they've survived all winter with no thrushes having a go!
Stunning photos Mark, beautifully lit..
Thanks Karen - not often I get such a good looking subject in crisp sunshine so I went a bit snap-happy.
