Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus)

I had 2 days to photograph Waxwings a short walk away from home at the beginning of March. I discovered them on the way to the local shops and there were an awful lot of them. The second day was brighter than the first and I took a huge number of pictures.
Off to Scotland to see my 96-year-old dad in Scotland on Thursday. We're staying for a few days so I hope to take some pictures unless it rains the whole time.

Cor!!! What a cracking picture you got of this guy Graham. You really did have some lovely light, didn't you.

I can't speak for the West Coast, but we've had our year's ration of rain on the east side!!;)
