Island Waxwings.

Well with very few Waxwings seen in the UK this winter how very pleased i was to find a pair outside my second home the Mersea island branch of the Royal British legion. The pair were very obliging eating the rose hip buds on the car park bush and have attracted many visitors to our little island over the last week.

Waxwings of Whitehall.

Whilst driving my son to his sunday football game, i came across 13 Waxwings on the Whitehall industrial estate in Colchester. I watched them flitting from the tree top down to the pyracanthus bush, just outside the Bannatynes Health Club and then back up again as the customers came in and out.

Wasn't expecting to see this beautiful bird until the New year,but due to weather conditions on the continent & in the North of England. This year they have arrived early searching for food.These two Birds where at Fingringhoe nature reserve Colchester.
