Waxwing Lyrical

It's been a Waxwing Winter this year but I haven't been really motivated to go and see them because there have been so many photos from other people. However, breakfast out in North Wales with my wife beckoned so it would have been rude not to look. Unfortunately the weather was grey and dismal with plenty of rain and so we only got a few distant glimpses of the large flock that has been flying around the Halkyn mountain area.


So after a hearty meal at Billy Jean's cafe, we set off and this is what we saw. Only blurry distant record shots I'm afraid but with around 60 birds in the flock we saw it was an impressive sight as they raided the Hawthorn berry trees.
